Got my snorkel kit today.... Having the hood cut on Wednesday and put on.... I was gonna do it myself but I don't wanna mess it up.... I'll rebuild an engine but I don't wanna go chopping away at my hood.... I'll post more pics on Wednesday!

 

Not doing it yourself?? Just follow the template and make the cut, not hard at all.

 

I was gonna but a buddy of mine in deleware used to work for Mercedes as a body guy (better money as train mechanic now) told me if I don't seal it right it will start to rust eventually and I don't want to take a chance on making the cut wrong... I don't have the steadiest hands, I'll spin a wrench all day but when it comes to something like that I'm not taking a chance

 

Good luck man, look forward to seeing it installed.

 

I'll post pics on Wednesday

 

Aev? Was it on back order when you ordered it? If so how long did you have to wait?

 

I honestly have no idea of what brand it is..i got off ebay...it was here in 2 days after I ordered it

 

That is the counterfeit of the aev snorkel. Chinese took a mold off their snorkel. There is a thread about it somewhere here and on aev forum.

 

Aev shouldn't be on back order. I got mine from quadratec in July.

 

Orderd one from Northridge a couple of weeks ago. Dave called me and said that they were on back order because of a design change for the 12+ model years.
