Bomber, I agree with you in terms of function over cosmetics. In terms of the airflow variant from the information you have seen is the snorkel more effective than the standard configured air intake? Ie is the RAM-effect effective?

Zzkazu my car was dyno tested before and after fitment. Final figures showed a broader spread of max power and torque and about a 5% increase in power at rear wheels. Unfortunately, with car my car gone and a house shift since then I don't have the printouts any more to upload.

Thanks Bomber, thats an impressive outcome and confirms that the design obviously improves airflow to the vehicle.

Stu, I'd love to support you and congrats on your efforts. Can you confirm the results of any engineering behind the design?

I for one and hanging out to get my hands on my Murchison Products snorkel. Although the delays have been killing me. I just hope it arrives in time to get it fitted up for my two month road/offroad trip starting in April!
