Snorkel???
I am thinking about getting a snorkel for my JK. I don't do much deep water driving, but i do go in a lot of mud and dust. I like the looks of the aev but they are all a little pricey for just a plastic tube. I found a knock off on ebay for $75 dollars and was wondering if anyone has gotten one, or if it looks durable. I just don't want to put something shitty on my jeep. Heres the link tell me what ya'll think.

I have this one installed because i didn't want to pay much more than for the AEV snorkel here in Germany. This one is much cheaper and does the same thing. I installed it with a friend, he's got the aev one and looked like this 
when he saw what product i have bought for just 550€ less then him. You are quoted to pay 800€ or more for the aev snorkel included shipping to Germany :(
The Ram-Air is quite different then the aev one, but the plastic tube ist nearly the same. The china one has a little more glossy structure but both are stable.
It's very expensive to buy parts from the US and ship them to Germany... You pay a lot for shipping and customs.
I'd bought the AEV Snorkel when i were in the US, but sitting here in Germany it makes no sense to me to pay much more for nearly the same product.
Blame me, but such a snorkel is not special engineering. It's a plastic tube
here some pics of mine installed:
