Default wow snorkel

I was thinking of putting a snorkel on my jk I looked at ARB and it ends up being about 1k all up. Wow so much money is it just my thinking or are ARB pricing them selves out of the market?

Some guys are being quoted $1500 for the AEV, and the Volant is $1050 at DBOR.
Price seems to be inline with the market

And Chinese knockoffs are around $150, but of course you need to consider the issues around buying a knockoff.

Sure cutting the bonnet is a scary thought... but its not a difficult job in practice.

Perhaps they just don't really want to get involved unless they can make a real killing, happens sometimes.

It only takes one hung over slightly distracted apprentice 2 seconds to destroy a bonnet and any chance of making a profit.

Apprentice? You mean a 'technician'.
