I talked to Volant about 2 weeks ago and they said it was still in the design phase getting ready for production. They indicated it should be for sale in about 3 months. Cant wait!!!!

I went with River Raider. Looks awesome and functions great. Plus it isn't plastic, so you don't have to worry about it cracking!!!!

Here is mine

I dont see anything wrong with plastic, one of my friends has had an ARB snorkel on his TJ for years and its still in use with no cracking at all.

I will agree River Raiders look awesome. I like non plastic things, too, alot. But the fact is some people just can afford them(including me lol)

Thanks for the input everyone. I'm still on the fence with this mod. And yes i do agree that the river raider is a great product. But I do like the idea behind the volant with it's Intergraded CAI.

If you hit a plastic snorkel hard enough to crack it (though iv'e never seen it done) the river raider is going to dent severely, restrict airflow, lose the lovely paint and need to be replaced.
it is truee! haha....honestly...people do always defend and promote the stuff they have because obviously they love it.....i think there is a certain amount of pride in the river raider...both by the owner of the company and by the customers (like me)....I personally love it because of its look, function and rigidity. It also speaks to the customer service and quality over at river raider!
