Default CAI or Snorkel

My question is this..... would you rather have a CAI or a snorkel? Does anyone have a hybrid setup? I just can't decide which one I want.

I currently have a CAI, but I will soon be putting in a RR snorkel.

The water is fun hence I want a snorkel. But I was thinking about getting a cat-back system. I always thought you needed more air in for a cat-back to perform better. So I am still trying to decide on which one to get.

im currently running a RR snorkel, but i have thought about doing hybrid set up where i would have to only hook up the snorkel when i take her off road. when and if i do do this i want a set up thats easily interchangeable, i.e. pop air box out and pop in CAI splash guard and filter.

Snorkel probably is more useful over all but playing in deep water/mud is probably best avoided for the overall health of your jeep. Unless you don't mind the maintenance/repairs.

CAI's are pretty much useless on these rigs, go with the snorkel.
