AEV Ram Snorkel thing-a-ma-jigger.
 
Anyone running one of these retarded ass looking things? I just saw a truck next door at the store with one. Just wondered what the inside of the engine compartment looks like. I can see the merit to getting colder air but dang they look dumb. LOL

Discuss.

Cmon Jordy.....its a Jeep-sorta thing. All the guys who think they'll be fording rivers in the near future have to have them. :hehe:

I think it might be kinda neat if it was just the fitted fender pod that grabbed air and forced it into the filter housing.......but that riser just looks goofy.

It probably don't breath worth a toss at highway speeds either. That passenger side A-piller can hide a semi in the blind spot, it doesn't need anymore crap on it.

I've thought several times about how to shove air into the filter box from outside the engine compartment. I've never seen a system that I liked or that actually worked efficiently short of putting a huge vent in the hood or losing a headlight.

The point is not cold air. The point is to avoid water when off roading.

so you cut a hole in fender of a 70000$ truck to make it look retarded and in all likelihood that dipschidt will probly never get it dirty. more of a pita to clean im sure besides all the possibility of it leaking ..

If the water is that high....they have more to worry about than having it in the intake. :hehe:

So CliqueD has decided snorkels are stupid because they look goofy?

Seems like it'd be pretty good to have next time you're in water up to your hood.

Granted, whoever does that type of thing with anything other than a stripped-out glorified dune-buggy I don't know. (Short of hurricanes.)

Personally I think it matches the Dodge mirrors
