Any Jeep owers out there who own a Volant Snorkel System?

Any feedback, pros / cons, etc?

How does it compare with ARB and stock airbox?

IMO, the ARB Safari Snorkel + Factory Airbox is the way to go. I sell both at work, and my opinion of the Volant is that it will likely produce more hp than factory and give the user a "cool off-road look", but ultimately it is not as well engineered for real world, off-road use.

Volant makes wonderful closed box intake systems for trucks, but as far as your jeep goes...stick with the original Safari Snorkel.

Hope this helped!

EXCELLENT advice...thanks for the input!! I didn't want to start the "ARB vs. Volant" thread...but it is kinda what I was looking for!

yeah, I'd have to concur, i've seen both installed and the ARB is just stouter, more refined, etc.

I talked to AEV the other day and they had only good things to say about the TJ safari snorkel.

I installed a Safari on a TJ and my XJ and was pretty straight foward and fit well. I have never seen the Volant one before.
