Cheap Snorkel
Is it just me or does it say this snorkel is 11.99?

I have an eBay Chinese ARB knockoff snrokel. Cost $75, shipping was $80. Really worked it at a local ORV park for 2 days straight, held up great.
Last shot it hydrolocked after being parked like that for 15 minutes, because I had a vacuum leak unrelated to the snorkel system.

It does say a bunch of chinese lettering all over it, lmao. But I'm more of form < function kinda guy anyway. Plus I think it adds to the "LOL" factor of my rig.

Install was a breeze. Mind you, I used to have an ARB Safari Snorkel on my other XJ, so I kinda knew how it was supposed to go. And having owned both now, I can tell you honestly, it's very hard to find a difference between the two, both in design and quality.
Only gripe is where it meets the top end of the fender to run alongside the A pillar. Doesn't exactly match up, would be better if the bracket they gave you for the top on the A pillar was bent exactly the other way. Makes me think they had the right idea, but were looking at it backwards.

The total cost is about 180 but the eBay one is around the same price but I rather go with eBay since I would be able to trust it more since they have feedback and this is the only snorkel I have seem for this price. They usually run 300-400
