I thunk one of the four by four publications did an install and some tests last month - probably petersons four wheel drive. I can't remember all they concluded but they did say that the temp difference of air through a snorkle at the manifold was like 20 degrees cooler or something might be worth cheeking out if your considering it.

Boyz, boyz! It's not snorkels that chicks dig, that's for you, "Mine is bigger than yours" male-types. I'll say it one more time.....listen up......Chicks dig rooftop tents!

We used to call the rooftop tents a "flip and f***" is that why chicks dig 'em? Quick access to a place to shag?

The safari snorkel, if moutned pointed foward, will theoretically act like an air ram, and combine that with cooler air and theroetically you may see minimal gains. I had mine mounted foward for less then a week before I turned it around. I didnt notice any gains.
I heard a interesting theory, but can't remember who said it...

"Get up to 80mph, and stick your head out the window. Is it easier to breath facing the wind, or or the opposite?"

which head?
In your case, the Carnium. Because, from the way I understand it, the other one will not reach the window.......
