Default Snorkel with a lightbar?

Is there anyone running a snorkel with the gutter mount lightbar? I'm just wondering about clearance issues on the end of the bar before I order a snorkel.

Worse case can't you push the light bar mounts back a tiny bit ?Or maybe a heat gun and bend the snorkel out of the way.

If you don't have the light bar yet, a 50" bar will clear a snorkel nicely and not interfere with the snorkel itself. I don't have the snorkel on yet, but in the works and don't anticipate any problems

Snorkels are worthless unless you waterproof other critical components (extend vent lines, etc)...and they hook branches and tear off.

Default Air intake

Yes you are half correct, they can get in the way but even something as simple as a cold air intake can improve your gas mileage and speed, especially with a lift and bigger tires or heavy bumpers and winches because you lose power from the weight.
