Bravo snorkel Mercedes Sprinter





Bravo snorkel Mercedes Sprinter
The Bravo snorkel for a Mercedes Sprinter elevates the engine's air intake to reduce dust and water ingestion in off-road and challenging conditions, improving engine protection and longevity. Made from durable, high-grade LLDPE plastic, these kits include all necessary components, a cutting template for straightforward installation, and come with a 5-year warranty. The design is specific to the Sprinter model, integrating seamlessly with the vehicle's aesthetics and offering an optional upgrade to a centrifugal head for enhanced dust removal.
Key Features & Benefits
Engine Protection:
The primary function is to shield the engine from water and dust, preventing clogged air filters and potential damage.
Improved Airflow:
By raising the intake, it provides fresher, cooler air, which can improve engine performance.
Durable Construction:
Manufactured from high-grade LLDPE (a type of plastic), the snorkel is built to withstand extreme weather conditions and impacts.
Specific Design:
Each kit is designed for a particular Mercedes Sprinter model (e.g., W907 2018-on), ensuring a precise and integrated fit.
Complete Kits:
The package typically includes the snorkel, head, installation template, and necessary hardware.
Simple Installation:
While requiring cutting and drilling, a provided template and straightforward design make installation manageable.
High-Quality Certification:
Bravo Snorkels meet European directives and come with a 5-year warranty, ensuring quality and durability.
Optional Upgrades:
A Donaldson Cyclone centrifugal head can be added for very dry or dusty conditions, capturing more dust before it enters the engine.
How it Works
Elevated Intake:
The snorkel raises the air intake point from the engine bay to a higher position, often on the vehicle's A-pillar.
Water & Dust Defence:
This higher position keeps the engine's air intake out of the water when crossing streams or puddles and above the dense dust clouds often found in off-road or agricultural environments.
Cyclonic Action (with optional head):
Some models can be equipped with a centrifugal head, which spins the air to separate heavier dust particles in a chamber before they reach the air filter.
