Well thanks to (renegadelt1) I will get it done this week/weekend matters how work goes. I called them twice left a message I am just so sick of the whole thing. ARB looks cool too. I cant comment of wind noise cause I cant get it to sit up there even standing still without it falling off haha. It was hard enough getting the pic. I picked the volant cause I used to be a loyal customer. I had one on my tj and my other car and untill this I was very pleased. Just boggles my mind with how expensive this thing is should come in a oak box 
with all the parts! I also wanted this one cause I can get the dual battery setup.

Whats that snorkel like that sound like when you go 90 down the freeway? I never really got this whole snorkel thing though. Correct me if I'm wrong here but if this is for fording rivers wouldn't the water actually be up to the windows and coming inside before you actually needed this thing? The intake for the stock airbox is even with the top edge of grille which seems high enough, especially since the Jeep doesn't float as far as I know. Basically, this means you could safely drive in water up to the top of the fender flares with the stock setup. Much higher and the current is going to carry you away... pointless in my opinion....
Don't get me wrong, if you like it then more power to you...

A snorkle actually has value for getting a true cold air charge, and in dusty conditions (out West) you can get much cleaner air as well, which is my primary interest as I'm not much for mud/water.
