Ebay cost effective snorkel reviews
Alright, I know that this is typically a hot button topic but I'm looking for feedback from those individuals that possess first hand experiences with the eBay snorkels. I searched for threads but the two that come up tend to be muddled up by the moral questions regarding the similarity to another brand. They've been around for a little while now so I believe if durability was to be a concern, then some fellow members would have experienced defects by now.
Specifically, I'm wondering:
Have you had any issues with the snorkel (installation, function, discoloring)?
If you could do things over, would you buy the same snorkel over again?
Please post up pics as well.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Just have to follow the directions and measure twice or thrice and only cut once.

The install part is when I crap my pants cutting into my hood

It really isn't that bad an installation, making sure the template is in the right place - and drilling the first big hole - it was like jumping off a high dive, you know you'll like it afterward but getting to that point is tough.

I've had this snorkel for about 6 months now, haven't had any issues concerning quality or fading, it's very sturdy. Install was straight forward, all bolt holes lined up perfectly. I would definitely buy one again.
Hopefully this thread can go on without the standard debate of AEV vs knock off coming up like usual.

I have one I installed about 6 weeks ago. I would buy it again. Only issue is I replaced the included pop rivets for the cover on the hood with stainless bolts instead. Just my personal preference, not necessary to do this I guess. After doing the install I am feeling pretty feerless about cutting up my hood again to install louvers! First cut is the hardest, lol!
