Default 2011 JKU Snorkel
Hi guys, ive recently purchased a 2011 JKU 70th anniversary 4dr and im looking at getting a snorkel but not sure what to buy as the Rugged Ridge ones are cheap and there is cheaper out there but im not wanting a "cheap" product exactly but more something that is going to do the job properly.
Any info will be appreciated. Thanks Tim

Snorkel

Rugged ridge snorkel won't work as will most USA snorks,

You have the choice of:
AEV
Volant
Safari
TJM

AEV seems to be the most popular and bang for your buck. All require cutting of the vehicle unless you have a AEV heat reduction hood.

The Volant snorkel is pretty badass, it looks like a giant Anaconda sunning itself on the bonnet of your car.

I wouldn't touch the ARB one. Apart from having to cut your front flare the rattling problem looks like it has never been resolved.

I had an AEV (Mopar) fitted when I got my 2011 diesel JKU and no regrets at all.

Did you mean to say AEV mate...?

I have a Safari Snorkel on my CRD and have had no issues what so ever... and the chatter/flutter that comes out of it when I back off mid spool sounds sexy as f$%k! Haha
