I'd like to see one that isn't marked up 3,584% in price when sold at retail. Come on, it's a piece of plastic tube.

A lot of what you pay for is R&D. Since we are offering suggestions maybe we can get a group buy direct on the first batch as beta testers ;-)

Being following this threat since the beginning very excited about it. But after seeing seen the above picture and the design of the pipes I do not like the system.

Why not? I'm very new to this...so i'd like to know what you don't like and where you're coming from?

Thanks

i think the difference is minimum cutting. im sure there is a bigger market for people who still want 2 batteries and to not cut the firewall than those who dont care. But if you want to cut the firewall, why not get the river raider? the whole point of this snorkel was something different, that required less cutting then any other snorkel

After looking at how it is mounted I do not think you will have a problem with either mounting option. With that said I cannot be 100% sure because I do not have one of these racks ...

Also , we hope to be Dynoing soon. Did a little seat of the pants drag race yesterday with a stock JK on 33" (auto) with the Mango (auto ,regeared - 5.13's but running 37" tires)... Feeling good about what to Dyno will pull in (fingers crossed).
Been almost a month...... Any new good news?????? :-):-):-).

Not to mention with the river raider your cutting your firewall, cowl and puting ribits all over the place. Its not reversable. Once installed your stuck with it. To top it off the river raider takes up a ton of space under the hood unlike rugged ridge's snorkle.
