Snorkel all the way.... It will give some power as the air that will get in your engine will be taken from a cooler place and moreover your engine will be much safer if you play in deep mud or you cross rivers.... Exhaust is only about noise and in some cases decreases your departure angle...

Is it worth cutting through the hood if I don't want to purchase the AEV hood?

theres no benefit to the snorkel if you don't extend your axle hoses. and theres no benefit to the snorkel unless you're fording water...

if you like sound go with the exhaust.

just remember if you're fording water, you'll need to extend both front and rear differential hoses for safety measures

It's your JEEP, your call. Snorkel is much higher in my mods to do list than exhaust....

They are a pain, but it protects you that much more if you like deep water and mud!
