Its so stupid why these snorkels cost so much. I mean seriously 100/150 bucks for plastic.

They look good though!

It only sticks out about 2.75" I used 2.5" tube. The box sticks out a little more but not much. It has been hit and scraped by meany rocks and trees. I don't know how I would ever have a plastic one on for more then 20 min on a trail. And worse then that is that every tree branch in the state of WI has caught on it. If it were plastic I think I would spend more time trying to protect it then wheeling. The main reason I did is was for the fenders. I plan on running some home brew fender flairs and the ones you buy just wouldn't let me have the up travel I want.
