This is a group buy for ARB Safari snorkles from a member trying to pass along his connection. Not a debate or compairison thread. El Cheapo's form a line to the left.

I give the Safari snorkle a thumbs up! Any snorkle is going to "snork" and make the world a rowdier place. I will also state that anyone getting one should also look at upgrading there muffler to a freer flowing Flow Master, Magnaflow, ect to harness the goodness of the increased air flow going to the engine.

The problem is that URD when describing their supercharger system states that it is compatible with a snorkel but people should expect lower performance because of the restrictions on the air intake... what do you think?

http://www.urdusa.com/Forced-Induction-URD-Supercharger-Kits/c168_2...

"The air intake system brings in cool air from the stock location in the fender wall and into URD's custom high flow air filter box with a very large flat panel air filter for unrestricted flow into the supercharger. In our previos version, the only complaint was the system was not compatible with the popular off road snorkel systems. This oversight was corrected with the new Mark III version. You can easily adapt it to your favorite snorkel system, but you may have a reduction in peak power with the added restriction to the intake."
