Piece of junk. After getting bushwhacker fenders and artic inter splach shields. Had a shop install. Had to cut fender and splash plates to fit snorkel. Put on a cold air intake when bought the jeep. Shop called and ask for a part off the stock intake. Seems that k&n snorkel uses the stock intake for intake air filter. Putting a 2 x 4 hole in snorkel system. By passing the intake from above fender. This is like putting a screen door on a submarine, looks good in the sunshine but when it gets wet only keep the fish out. WTF. Manual says to use foam plug when in wet conditions. Live in Washington state and it rains 7 to 9 months a year. Plan to use in the mountains like in water or wet areas. Now wasted money on intake that is a waste but splach plates are ruin. And shop money is down the drain. To remove snorkel and now have to find a replacement.
All this to not cut hole in the hood. No where in details does K&N say anything about using stock intake tube. And I spend 200 bucks above other intakes because it was looking like a well design system. At least AEV web site at bottom of page in red letters says can not be used with after market fenders.

Why so big for the windshield? Don't they get obstruct your field of view? Aren't they're smaller ones that work for your needs?
I know KC has brackets that come off the side more. I have them. Work great. Nothing in the way.
Looks great, but not sure about location.

I am planning the same setup + another set on front bumper.
