The Magnuson kit uses the stock air box in the stock location. So it SHOULD work with the snorkel I would think. Just judging by the pics of the snorkel kit it looks like it should work. Only one way to find out for sure!

What he said. They deliver the power a little different just due to the design of the supercharger. I can tell you that one of the deciding factors for me was when I watched a Jeep set up almost identical to me start to spin the tires on climbs with a Ripp because almost everytime he hit 1500ish rpm it would get a boost hit. The Magnuson seems to be much smoother on the power delivery which suits my wheeling style better. Personally I was willing to give up 20ish hp at 6000 rpm for more controlability on the bottom end. But it really comes down to what YOU want. Everyone has their own opinion on the issue. It's like asking who makes the best suspension kits.

Bigsteve and I made our purchases on the same decision tree. I also have the Magnuson (but on my 3.8L) and I bought it for the even lower distribution and ability for the boost to kick in right away.

I would love to have one of these, but not in the budget I just like the roots style more than centrifugal. I would have liked if they could have incorporated somehow the retention of the OEM oil filter, vs. the 2 piece reusable/cleanable replacement element.
