Sorry I dont really watch fuel use to much so i cant really answer that one.

Noise wise it is quieter then the Airtec i had on my previous truck but there is noticeable induction noise with the window down. Nothing with it up.

On the power side I have not noticed anything either way, she still pulls like a train.

Not much help sorry.

2011 Ltd Crd, Uneek bar & plate, Murch lift, Mopar sliders & plates. Murch snorkle on order.

There is a small amount of induction noise when you stick the boot in, but for general driving with the radio on you can't hear it, haven't noticed and extra wind noise but have only driven around town
There might be a bit more lag off the line, but this could be because I bought a Ducati Diavel and the jeep feels slow
Fuel consumption around town has gone up by about .2/.3 litres per hundred, again haven't been on the highway yet
Overall I'm happy with it

My Airflow makes a bit of wind noise at highway speeds. Might be the gap between the tube and the A pillar.

Certainly makes induction noise.

Power and fuel use - not sure yet. I have a 1000 km run this weekend, not towing, so I will see how it goes.

Cheers

Thanks Mate..About what I experienced with the Airflow snorkel on my Commander..Minor increase in fuel consumption is a bit hard to judge with town/city driving variables..Look forward to your Highway test. Should be a slightly better consumption with the air ram effect I would guess.
