the home made one looks factory and was about 45 bucks to make.

Speaking of the hose.. what did you do to get it snugly attached to the snorkel body?

I get the whole savings thing. But please dont go making statements that the copies are as or even near the quality of the ARB's.

As stated earlier I have yet to install the snorkel on my jeep. To each their own I guess but for $130 (pretty much the cost of DIY) you get a real snorkel look and quality functionality when done right. I dont see the point in spending $400 on a snorkel that will function the same as a $130 one. Thats money that can go elsewhere in ones rig. Also somebody made a thread comparing the 2 a while back.
