I looked and could not realy find an answer to my specific question.

Those of you with snorkels have you noticed a difference in performance and or mpg?

Thanks

Blue Fin

No difference.

I don't have a snorkel. But I have heard that the snorkel eats air filters. The reason I was told is. The intake is out in the open & isn't shielded any by the hood etc. so debris (dust) is more easily sucked into it.

That's the biggest bunch of hooha I've ever heard. If you believe it, I've got a '88 S-10 truck I'll take $500,000 for. It's sweet, too.

Thanks for the replies, Blue Fin have you noticed any other benifits besides the obvious?

AEV Snorkel..... No gain iin performance or mpg noticed......

You can hear the air getting sucked in which makes a low growl sound

No difference here either.

Ummm... Not really?
I just know that after doing a few thousand miles through the Khalahari Desert my air filter is still the same as when I went in whilst guys in other cars have a whole heap of sand and dust in theirs..

Clean air in engine is friend.
Oh and I wasn't refering to other jeeps when I said cars. Kittens live to die another day.
Haha

Performance wise - no.

The main benefits are:

1. A mental insurance policy for when wheeling in mud & water
2. The Jeep looks like it means business
3. The Jeep still reads RUBICON, unlike some other snorkels

Your lucky the the Trail Rated plate is on the side so you can still read it
