Rugged Ridge XHD Modular Snorkel Install on 2015 Jeep Wrangler

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnsnPcA8ZH8&w=640&h=360]

This was lost footage. Seriously. I lost it. But, I found it! Here is the complete install of my snorkel on OVERCLOCK3D. I did this back in December of 2015. I have changed a lot on the Jeep since then, but one thing remains... and that's this snorkel. I still really like this thing. This video has no commentary. I'd consider it as a supplement to the install guide. You can find the guide at:

I got this snorkel from Extreme Terrain:

  3. Looking at the vented hood video and this one. In wondering why the manufacturer would make a metal tube to go close to the hottest part of the help engine? Or is it not close?

  5. Looks like a poor design routing it so close to the exhaust manifold. Horsepower robber if you ask me. More cold air the better not hot..

  10. Kevin no a snorkel is a complete waste. If you really need a snorkel you need to to do way more than anybody ever does to water proof you JEEP. And to say it betters airflow to any degree that matters is a complete lie !!

  14. Wow CPO that snorkel looks 100x better. And I wish my engine look like that. Hehe I want to go trails and get dirty. I just need to beef up my axle covers and go from 4.10 to 4.88 with the 37" I'm getting soon. Sorry I'm talking too much now. I still haven't run into you here in MD, but once I do I'm gonna wave and scream CPO!. Lol hahahaha. AGAIN GREAT VIDEO

    There are some decent snorkels that run along the hood.... Not sure if that is something you'd like.

    I get that question a lot! LOL I'm sad to report that these are Bartact. I'm not sad because they're Bartact, I'm just sad that they decided they're not going to manufacture them. I was one of about three testing sets made, in orange of course specific for my build, and I was planning on doing an install video for them. However, they ran into manufacturing issues and decided to halt the project. So I actually can't tell you where to get them....
