JK Snorkel Anyone?

[robbo1959]

Still waiting for Airflow snorkel to be fitted they said that they would call me after the 13th of this month.

After seeing the picture's of ARB'S under the bonnet it looks like it has been reduced to fit it in.

Would be very interested in it's performance with air and fuel.

I only hope that those who have made the purchase of a ARB'S snorkel haven't wasted thier money.

And no I don't work for Airflow.

AEV's snorkel seems better in my opinion. Looks to be cheaper as well than the Safari one. Install guide indicates its for the petrol and diesel. See the pdf.

It's ok to look at something cheap but will it work.

After Safari did the one for the TJ and it was a waste of time for performance let's hope the one they have put together for the JK isn't the same?

I would look into every option before I put something on my JK that hasn't been fully tested.

I wasn't after a performance boost theres not ever going to be huge gain with something that adds air flow hindrance. Ram effect may help a lil but who four wheel drives at 100km/h (dont answer that, yes i'm guilty too).

I was after the cleaner air, both dryer and less dusty. After some relatively deep mud, only just over bull bar I already had signs of mud in my airbox and on the bottom of the airfilter!!!

I'm happy with my safari snorkel the only foreseable down side will be how it mates up with Bushwacker flares.

Cool, have a great day.

I would like to see more test's on something before it went on the market in such a hurry as this did.

But you have a great day.
