Default Snorkel question

I have searched but couldn't really find a straight answer. I'm considering getting a an aev snorkel and I was curious to know if there is any significant power loss. I would think no bc the engine is pulling the cooler air from outside. Any input would help!

I got one as well and not difference in power

I have noticed that on colder days the Jeep tends to be a tad more happy but hard to really have a baseline on that. I do know my air filter has been much more cleaner since I installed the filter. Only issue was I must have driven though a Bee swarm because I had about 20 bees on the filters last oil change.

I'll bet if there is a power loss, it would be mostly at the upper end of the power curve, and noticeable only on a graph.
