Have 3 friends that have the RUgged Ridge units. 2 have had water issues. All 3 leak air at the fender top connection. The bolts that hold the stack down. All 3 continue to fail the engine smother test. Still the best looking snorkel out there but I would not trust it. But that's me.

Remove the air scoop on the upper intake to reveal the open pipe ..
Start the engine ..
Put a heavy plastic bag over the pipe (hold on tight)...
If your hand is big enough you may be able to just put the palm of your hand over the hole to choke it out.
If your system is air tight the engine will stall.

Well guys, I finally gave in and ordered the AEV for my '12. Should be getting it within the week. Although I really dislike the looks it seems as though this is the best for performance and state of mind. Install probably wont be until after the holidays as I'm in the Corps and will be traveling but expect an install and test review come January. Thanks for the input guys!

I know people think the AEV is ugly but I love it. So many people ask me what it is. They are surprised at the purpose and shocked when I show them pics.
