Here is that Rugged Ridge Snorkel. The pre-filter is nice when you live in a dry climate. It'll keep the big stuff out of your under hood filter.

I really like the look of the Wild Boar Snorkel. It combines the tradition style and the "hummer" style to make a slick looking functional piece. I also like that you don't have to cut the hood with this one.

Let me know if you have any questions.

It is 2.9" (just measured it), so should take 3" accessories just fine.

Agreed, it was a complete eyeopener and changed my whole build though as you said, never know what can happen in the future.

Adding the AEV gen2 snorkel soon. Protects my engine and supercharger. Nothing worse than pumping water through 8k worth of parts.

Not much water, no, but you may get caught in a flash flood, so...

Thought I would ask it here what does everyone do in a downpour when it happened to me I drove with it forward, probably should have spun it around. But i can tell it sucked up some water and was idling rough till I opened the drain up and water came out.
I have the rugged ridge snorkel for 3.8

ive left it froward no worries, there designed for it. When i used to fit in car washes i took it thru there also. Seems weird if your "snorkel" took on water in the rain. spinning it around is probably more safe, but i never have.
