X2 above. Modular is sweet. Low for DDer use, weekend snorkel benefits. Love it all.

(under $400 please!?)

keep the feedback coming

Man this is so awesome. Love the innovative design and the ingenuity of the modular idea. The pre filter looks sick and the snorkel is beastly. The lower intake is great for street use but the design and details are sorta weird.

I think I'll be buying the low prefilter for daily use and the high ram style for offroad. Loving this design. Can't wait to see completely finished design. Keep it up RR!

I've been waiting soooooo long for this.

AEV = $370
ARB = $450

Please keep the short stack in the low end of this range and make my day.

Looking good! I'm still willing to wait for this. Right now I'm looking at starting off with the low mount prefilter version.

We needed the intake low for a clean look but this places it in the path of water running off the Jeep when sitting still. When you’re on the trail you’re not moving at 50+mph. The intake off to the side takes care of this. Location of main body intake is still located on top. The cover channels the air up from the side and needs to pass a foam pre-filter before entering the housing. After driving for 3-4 hours in different rain conditions this weekend I had little or no water inside of main housing. Also note, the main housing has a water trap and a system to allow extra water to be removed. WE ARE STILL exploring other options but we must keep the intake a given size. Current location is 36" further back and 5" higher than stock intake. This is measured from the lowest point of the intake. This covers 99% off all your needs regarding water. If you need something taller than we have the high intake.... Besides you’re going to have other issues to deal with going that deep .... Just saying . ALSO.. the Mango Tango has cut fenders and 37” tires… Got a lot of spray. You guys with no fenders…? Can’t solve all the problems just yet but again that tall mount answers this issue.
Thank you for explaining this...this is exactly the info I wanted to hear/see. I also am glad that you posted a pic with a pre-filter style setup on the low mount. This gives me the idea that I was picturing in my head as to how i wished this style snorkel would look in the low mount area. This should work out perfect for myself and I am sure many other's. Great job, can't wait till they are released

If sales are good than we can look into more world market products like CRD air box size and location...
Still like the design and understand that it will all be resized as it becomes production.

As said I could take off the tall unit for my daily driver, don't think you can do that with any other product out there.

Just need the CRD version, but just have to wait that bit longer.

Nice work RR

I'm loving this thing, can't wait for it to come out. If only it were out before now...
I was thinking the same thing everyone else was saying about it not flowing with the ram air, but im sure you guys will pull this thing together and give us the best product on the market.
