A most unscientific opinion about snorkels! My XK was used as the Airflow development mule. Dozens of hours spent in development and on dynos resulted in improved airflow, an increase in horsepower at the rear wheels and a decrease in fuel consumption, all very carefully graphed and documented by Airflow at the time and put up on here for all to see.
I can't comment on the Airflow for a different car to my XK and I won't buy in to a debate about how thorough Murchison are in their development but I will say after that experience that I reckon aesthetics should be the least of the deciding factors.
