Would you pay $135 for the molding, bending, and finishing, plus shipping, handling, and overhead?

I mean, at some point, if a snorkel is needed, this is a good deal.

Esp if you would rather not stick plain old PVC to the side of your truck.

Might be a different story if I played in the water, but I'll just save my money for now and stay out of the drink.

Well, that doesn't mean the rest of is do, which means there is a need. And this is a very good value for what you get.

We're discussing the legitimacy of the Snorkel. Its on topic.

The topic up there is "is this legit?" That's what we are discussing.

I see nothing about "does it work?"

I bought one of these ... lol Actually its not bad quality .... I haven't installed it yet but I test fit it and it seems like it will fit fine to the fender, only issues I see so far is the included hose to go from the snorkel to the airbox doesn't fit and the A Pillar bracket needs to be painted before install. Only other thing is is says the company that made it on it and is some long chinese name and on the head there is chinese writing. I'll take some pics tonight.

Can the writing be ground off with sand paper or a grinder?

the stuff on the snorkel itself can definatly be ground/sanded off in fact i plan to do so the other stuff isn't really noticable.
