Default Contemplating buying this Snorkel

I have bought ebay parts before, and they have worked flawlessly, but i have herd horror stories. This snorkel seems to be a knock off of the aev snorkel, but i have not seen any bad reviews from buyers, nor have i seen any stories about them on the forum.
Should i buy it?

Can we link ebay or not?

Isnt this the Knock off AEV part that is made in china?

If so I would not want to support that.

This has been on here before.

Two things to consider besides the obvious statements mentioned above.

These statements below have been by other users on this forum:


1. The price to ship is relatively expensive.

2. The actual transit time that it takes to ship from another country to the U.S., and once in the States, process time and shipping to you will be another few weeks...

I say buy it and tell us about your experience!

See the search bar at the top right. Type in Ebay Snorkel :

I would not trust it. Even though it says it is for a JK the picture of the jeep in not a JK and it doesn't even show a snorkel attached to it.
