Piece of junk. After getting bushwhacker fenders and artic inter splach shields. Had a shop install. Had to cut fender and splash plates to fit snorkel. Put on a cold air intake when bought the jeep. Shop called and ask for a part off the stock intake. Seems that k&n snorkel uses the stock intake for intake air filter. Putting a 2 x 4 hole in snorkel system. By passing the intake from above fender. This is like putting a screen door on a submarine, looks good in the sunshine but when it gets wet only keep the fish out. WTF. Manual says to use foam plug when in wet conditions. Live in Washington state and it rains 7 to 9 months a year. Plan to use in the mountains like in water or wet areas. Now wasted money on intake that is a waste but splach plates are ruin. And shop money is down the drain. To remove snorkel and now have to find a replacement.
All this to not cut hole in the hood. No where in details does K&N say anything about using stock intake tube. And I spend 200 bucks above other intakes because it was looking like a well design system. At least AEV web site at bottom of page in red letters says can not be used with after market fenders.

Did research on the net about air flow and how much gets pass the filter. All filters let different amount pass (amazing how much get pass the stock paper filter but it is fine particles ), just how much are you willing to live with and how much air do you want to engine. Positive is being able to clean and reuse verses replace each time. Called K&N and talked to an engineer. To get a refund have to take off kit and cut it up, take pictures and send to them. Have to use the stock intake to their box to get the proper amount of air as the snorkel is too restive by it self. Kind'a defeats the purpose of snorkel. And you find out about this in the last steps of the installation. As I did not have the stock intake at the shop as they were installing the K&N intake box. Was confusing while installing as to why it was designed, till you get almost completed do you figure out what is up. So back the shop. And more research to find one that will fill my needs. Sucks that I get to eat the labor cost. Price you pay for playing with jeeps. Posted this so that others can make an informed dissension on this subject if this kit will work for them or not.
