Default Cold Air intake and a snorkel?

Is there a way that I can run a cold air intake and a snorkel?... I see that river raiders makes a box for cold air intakes but can I use that with a arb snorkel? Dose any one els make a new box that would work?

I don't get what you're asking here. First and foremost, NO ONE makes a CAI for the JK. NO ONE. They may call them that, but no one makes one. A CAI routes incoming air from OUTSIDE the engine bay. Not a single intake on the market does that. Using the AEV snorkel on your stock intake box turns IT into a CAI that's better than anything on the market besides perhaps the Volant and I would say even then they are equal. If you go with the AEV, you will have a true CAI as well as being snorkelized.
