Paint the snorkel to match, it is expensive but just looks so damn good, I can't understand anyone saying negative things about this snorkel? Who wants that big plastic shit running down the hood?

I agree, some of them look like a big slug stretched across there. At least theres choices.

The AEV is compatible with GEN2 RIPP Superchargers

I'm curious about performance. Is a River Raid or AEV snorkel comparable to lets say, an AirRaid or Banks intake?

I think you will get a lot of opinions on this issue, but not many provable facts. I've yet to see any real objective evidence that CAI's (which is a complete misnomer because they pull hot air from the engine bay) add any real performance gain. A snorkel, however, absolutely pulls cold air into the motor and absolutely provides real protection from hydrolocking that is not provided by the stock box or the aftermarket "CAI" intakes.
