wouldn't count on much of an increase at all.

Why is that? It is a ram air. At least 5-10 HP like any other ram air kit? Wouldn't you think

Been driving w/ the ARB snorkel for about 9 months.  I am not impressed with it.  I wasn’t expecting much the main reason I got it was insurance.  I frequently wheel in deep mud and some water and the stock intake is just behind the driver’s side headlight.  I got mine used for $150 so I am not too upset.  My K&N has never been dirtier than with the snorkel.  Look at it like this when driving down a dusty road where does the dust your jeep kicks up go?  It goes up then slowly falls to the ground.  So in a line of a few vehicle you really are not getting any cleaner air and probably are getting dirtier air b/c the grill, headlight, bumper, lights are not restricting airflow(the little bit that they do).  As far as ram air effect it is non existent.  True ram airs are designed for specific vehicles and are strategically placed in the correct location and angle to have air “rammed” into your intake. Any ram air effect that it provides is probably negated by the fact that there is a huge thing hanging off the side of your jeep and ruins and aerodynamics your jeep has left.

The only "RAM AIR" you'll get is with a supercharger.  And I've run one... That's probably the only mod I was actually impressed with the gains out of the 2.5L.  Any other ram air mod is junk.  You won't get ANY gains unless you boost at least 3-4psi of true air pressure directly into the TB, and have the fuel system capable of boosting pressure also.

there wont be much effect, b/c with a long intake pipe like that, you have lots of air friction/resistance within the pipe - the air moving in is slowed as it passes the innerwalls of the pipe.  same rule applies when sizing HVAC ductwork.

It's not really ram air and was never designed to be.  It is Cold air induction though.  Cold air is denser so it's basically more air.  If there are a lot of particulates in the air, grabbing air from higher up would be better.

The larger dia. will help to bring in a bit more air but I don't think it's that much more then the OEM box. The turbulence from all those corgated tubing betweeen the snorkel and the air box won't help much.

You can't lay down your windshield with the ARB snorkel either.  :cry:

I've crunched mine on a couple trees so far and only popped the top off, but that was in warmer months. I'm sure it'll shatter when it gets cold enough though.  :cry:

This was the first thing I thought of when people started saying the chinese instead of the japanese bombed pearl harbor.  

D-Day: War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...
[thinks hard]
Bluto: the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!
[runs out, alone; then returns]

I dunno, I think that its a bit extreme to say something along the lines of 'them' deserving whatever bad things happen because of pearl harbor.  I'm reasonably sure that the present day cancer victims resulting from the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are comparable to the loss of life at Pearl Harbor.  let alone the initial amount of death and destruction.  I don't think we need a UN panel to figure out where the greatest source of WMD's are in the world...

(I caught the Chinese "Kamikaze" note a few back.  Hence, my wink  in the follow-on)

Of course, everybody knows that, towards the end of WW2, and running out of pilots, the Japanese were forced to utilize quickly-indoctrinated personnel from occupied mainland China to fly suicide missions against the approaching Allied Fleet.  These brain-washed, Chinese "Kamikaze" were called "Bejing-Bullets" by Allied Sailors and Marines.

I'm surprised you didn't know this, Jeffy
