Safari snorkels and original Mercedes snorkels for millitary editions.
Various no-name products that does the job.

I have the original Mercedes version, the short one typically refered to as Canadian army model.
It works as it is designed to (well... it's a bent plastic tube) but should I do it again, I would buy one with the intake in line or slightly higher than the roof.
When I drive with the passenger side window open, I get a bit of engine growling and sucking noise from the inlet.
That was a unwanted side effect.

I have the Mantec raised air intake on my LR Discovery and it has the same noise, and it is located at the roofline. I think most will do this, I am not sure on the mushroom/pre-filter style ones though. That is if that is the reason why you would get one with the intake raised higher.

This is just the snorkel from EuroTruck for $85. The same one the Canadian Military G's use, they sell the kit with a bracket and a few bent tubes for $572 but many G owners have been able to fabricate the bracket and tubes themselves. Others have left the snorkel freesatnding without a bracket.

Ahh OK. So it sounds like the increased engine noise comes with adding any snorkel.
