Volant has a snorkel, but you have to cut a hole through the top of the hood.

you can relocate the antenna inside the fender well with the RR, its in the directions....I dont even use the antenna, I have the sirius radio

there was also a write up on installing a antenna amplifier to do away with the antenna outside

With AEV, you have to cut the hood for the snorkel.

With the Crazy one on top*cough*UGLY* it has a flexible hose, RR doesn't effect the hood , and the AEV you have to cut hood around the snorkel.

I want a snorkel so bad but I think I'm gonna have to get a winch first.

For the record I like the AEV and hope to rock it some day.

I believe the volant is the only one that goes through the top of the hood, and has a flex hose at the hinge point.

I didnt like the style of any of the availables enough to get them either, so I made my own.

Forced Cold Air Intake
Reversible Top Spout for inclement weather and heavy water travel.
3inch highflow tunneling system
water trap beneath K/N filter in case of splash into snork
debris cage below spout roation
Clean. professional look under hood
Industrial styling on outer section...currently still prototype.

No leaks whatsoever
no additional highway wind noise
cool breathing sound
more power
better mpg
