Here are some pics and info from my attempt at a homemade snorkel. I just couldn't see myself spending $420 for an RRC Mantec snorkel. Parts:
ARB Safari Snorkel Head #000135000 from http://www.4by4connection.com/landrover3.html $55
4-foot section of 3" diameter exhaust tube from local muffer shop $20
3" diameter flexible aluminum heating and cooling ducting from Lowe's $8
two 3-1/2" stainless steel hose clamps $2
1 can satin black spray paint $5
1 can primer $5
Black plastic door panel trim at Pep Boys $5
self tapping #12 screws
Scrap 1/4" and 1/8" thick flat bar
Total Cost: $100
I pretty much followed the directions from this website http://members.optusnet.com.au/thebecketts/rover/rovermod.htm#snorkel but I cut, welded, and ground the pipe instead of bending it. The trickiest part is getting the right angles for the pipe and making the first cut into the decker panel.
