What would you like in a snorkel design?

Yea, watched the video and read several posts where they discussed the power loss. Something like 30hp i believe. That being said, basically their recommendation and what I would most likely do is only connect the snorkel for wheeling outings where high water crossing are expected, then keep it disconnected for vastly improved supercharger performance the rest of the time.
Sounds like you are saying that this won't be possible at all though.

Our inlet point is tied into the stock air filter location so it could be made to work with some effort. With that said we will be putting declaimers stating the use with stock aspiration systems only.
Sorry.... To me the two systems are just not compatible. I can understand the desire but know the limitations.

No, Nothing is impossible. It's your JK. From a liability stand point we are unable. If I told you yes and somehow your $5,000 charger went bad who do you think would be getting the first call after Ripp told you that it was not covered under warranty...

[QUOTE=Rugged_Ridge;2147479]Currently we will be pricing this out with the low intake as standard. The options to date are:
(1) high intake with Ram
(2) Prefilter alone - for use with high intake
(3) Prefilter low - Comes with mounting base and filter.
what pic shows the prefilter? what is that? what does that mean?

PLEASE no comments about the size if the high intake... This has been reworked and has been made more proportional to the rest of the system.
At this time the pre-filter will be a sourced item but we may look into developing our own version if we see a need.

Dumb question. The normal filter is still present in the engine correct? If so, what is the purpose of the additional pre-filter? Just to knock out more dust and debris before it hits the normal filter? Any performance changes with a pre-filter?

It produced a cyclone that forces larger dust and sand to the outside but does not block the air flow.

Another question... Do you already have an estimate release date? I do want to wait for this one

In this discussion yes "Ram" just means pointing forward.
