its looks like its exactly the same as the rugged ridge snorkel which replaces the passenger side cowl. The issues with these snorkels even the rugged ridge one is the cheap plastic parts start to fade in the sun. There is a reason why the AEV kit costs $600.

If I were to do this I would only run the low snorkel unless I was off roading. And I would get the plastic cowl pieces painted.

Put this is the way I did it
Cut a hole in the top and machined an adapter for the scoop
I did not like running the snorkel up the window pillar obstructing my view
I don't know if it helped with HP or MPG put it is getting 100% fresh cool air

I'm running the aliexpress one and all's good. It comes with the reinforcing brackets to stop the pipework under the jubilee clips from collapsing. It's also 113 degrees+ here and no fading of the plastics in 12 months.

If I'm honest, it's to get the air intake out of the sand and dust on the roads here and to get 'cool-er' air.

Looks like a knockoff.
Both are plastic, one cost a lot less.
Try it.
I have the low profile Rugged Ridge.

I had that problem with the rugged ridge. The plastic piece that snaps into the are box where the hose slides over collapsed
I called rugged ridge for a replacement. not available
They told me I had to buy a hole new snorkel . NO THANKS
I took a heat gun and fixed it and now no hose clamps and no more collapsing
Don't need hose clamps . Ones the hose is pushed on it ant going any were
I will order this one from Amazon for $129 for my wife's Rubicon

I have one also. I did have to seal the mounting point due to someone trying to use it as a hand hold, kids..., but it's just as good as the $600 options. They also have one that matches and Mopar Snorkle for less than $200. I don't know for sure but ide imagine it's the same situation.

I've seen some interesting stuff on Alibaba, specifically fenders, but can't find anyone who's using them...
