Probably not as ugly underneath as it is on the outside. I have no idea what kind of a hook up they're using. Looks like it would have to be some kind of compression seal or a hell of alot of accordian type of hose to be able to raise the hood.

it might not be to visually appealing but it does look like it might work well considering its probably the shortest length from their cai to the top of the snorkel. That is if its some sort of comprssion seal. I would like to see it on a couple jks before I say if I hate it or not. Its sort of like hay I have a snorkel and there is no hiding it haha

It's gotta flexible section of the snorkel hose that allows the hood to open.
