I had a cone filter on the top of my snorkel before I removed it. When I refit it, I'll probably do the same, or maybe I'll fit a factory "doughnut" airbox for an SU, as they sit in such a way as to not really get in the way.

You can buy off ebay the adapters that bolt to the su and the other side is round for you to fit some pipe and clamp it, whether that's filter in the bay or on top of the snorkel. If that's what your meaning?

I mean where to put the filter as wouldn't the cone filter get soaked in the rain/ puddles if it's on top

I wouldn't put a K&N style filter near any vehicle of mine, especially on an offroader. Even the genuine K&N ones don't filter well and allow loads of crap through into your engine.

I would run the snorkel into the standard airbox and then into the SU. Having a bare filter on top of the snorkel open to all the elements isn't a great idea really.

I've just moved the standard air box slightly further down the wing and plumbed the SU up to that.

Thinking of getting one of those. The SU fits in the middle, then a small elbow directs air down and into the SU. Then I'll attach the snorkel to the other end.

It's made for a 1300 Mini though, might not have enough flow for a 1600.

Ok, I think I'll try and get the standard air box to fit, iv got a fuel pump there though so will have to move it somewhere

Is it ok to route some pipe to the other side of the bay to the air box then out to the snorkel? Would this reduce the air flow?
