Atuldo -Actually - he's not wrong. That is a Safari Snorkel available only for right -hand drive vehicles. Everyone knows the diesel and gas engines are a different layout - but the RHD is laid out differently because of the location of the steering wheel. And that is a RHD European Sport model in your pic - probably in the UK - judging by the houses.

It's actually a Gibson RM and not a Safari Snorkel, but all in all the same deal for both companies at this stage. Also, I am going to guess the picture was taken in Australia given the color of the dirt as well as the houses.
I believe you're right - but neither are available for left hand drive - yet.

I have seen the pre filter pretty full of dust and debris , I dont know if the ram air would hold back what the pre filter would
