Don't hold your breathe. They can't even warranty out my ic tb pipe couple. It's been 3+ months now. Yet they can push and have holiday sales. Should have done my research. Many people have issues with their cheap made products. I'll never buy their products ever again.

I’m skeptical on this snorkel being produced, I would assume Rangers aren’t top of their list. Lets hope the snorkel isn’t cheaply made I had a Mishimoto radiator on an S2000 I owned years ago and it never failed, welds were so-so but it didn’t leak. I wonder if it’s dyno results holding up the sale to public? Or is everything down to the bolts sitting in a shipping container from China?

It seems the dyno results are done a while ago based on their Mishi-Minute snorkel dyno video, so I would suspect supply chain…

I was told in this thread by the OP that I could get in on the pre-order by August for a delivered snorkel before next weekend. Glad I made my own with an ebay snork instead. I really hope this Borne snorkel comes to market and is great, but it's vaporware until then.

Hey Guys!

Apologies for slacking on an update for you!

I know that we've had to shift back our presale launch date a few times due to design tweaks and some production delays, but it looks like we're mostly through all of that.

Currently, we're on track to start our presale in about 2-3 weeks, however that is still subject to change currently. I'll make sure that you guys are the first to know if anything moves again.

Thanks again for your patience!

Were you able to successfully modify a T5 Ranger snorkel??! **Wishful thinking**

@Mishimoto if you guys could re-locate the alternator or make a waterproof one to go with that snorkel, I think you would have many customers!

I have been one to be really critical about our trucks and their alternator placement. And while I know that a snorkel can be for more than just water crossings, I never figured to spend my money on one since I never liked the look of the ARB/Safari snorkel. I have always liked the look Australian spec snorkels and look forward to the @Mishimoto product. I look forward to this product and will jump in on presale the moment it arrives.

Only problem I’m going to have is it’s going to send me to take another trip moment I get it installed.

Funny you mention the Australian spec Snorkel. Technically speaking the ARB is a Australian spec snorkel
