Definatley the best looking of them all and there shouldn't be any noticable performance differance between the 4 or 5 that are out there now. You can't run dual batteries with it is the only drawback. It's the one I'll be spending my money on.

I will definitely be buying this snorkel, glad to finally see a good picture of it on someone's Jeep. This just makes me want it that much more.

Not true. Call john at benchmark and he will build you a remote mount dual battery setup.

I only know because when I add a snork it'll be the river raider. I did my homework lol.

^^^^^^ Yep!

The AEV is the ticket for compatibility with our off-the-shelf kits, but we can put packages together if our regular kits aren't compatible with your snokel, hemi or supercharger.

Thats good to know, The dual batteries are the only thing thats held me back on the River Raider snorkel. And right when I'm asked what I want for Christmas.

I'm not a fan of this snorkle... You have to relocate your radio antenna.. Yes it looks great.. But after I read the install instructions I was kinda turned off.. AEV is still my fave

The River Raider is awesome! Who cares about the antenna? Shove it under the dash, it works fine (I listen to satellite though) I am stoked to hear that Benchmark can accommodate a dual setup with this snorkel! I will be contacting them soon.

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?
