I love it. I justify the snorkel more for moving the air intake a little higher for dust and the occasional water. In AZ we may not have a lot of stream crossings but street flooding is common with our T-Storms. It does sound a little strange with the air intake up by the window but you get used to it.

The snorkel is a standard AEV and the kit from RIPP has the Filter, the "Can" that covers it and a nut to tie it all together. The only thing you may have to Jerry Rig is the transition from the end of the snorkel to the intake. But if you have done a Hemi swap you are used to making modifications.
I have always wanted to fit a snorkel similar to the way you did. I just had doubts it would flow enough air to feed the V-8 efficiently unless I custom built the snorkel with larger diameters than the AEV one. I am certainly tired of having to be wary of water.
