Thanks for the links, I have been following sale webpage and the availability date keep moving out. If it does come out at the price stated I think they will soon sell out.

I wrote them asking about the Jimny snorkel, they replied with the following:

"Our kit SSJN has an expected date for availability in December, but we could say that launch date can be delayed to January due to the affectations of the current global situation. We can't confirm now if the product will be ready to buy in January, we hope :-)

We are going to do a sample testing in our facilities within this week, please follow us on our instagram to be updated about the news regarding this model, and others. We will upload some photos or a video of the sample installation."

Be interesting to see how it actually performs. I'd also like to know how it is affixed to the A pillar.

Me too. They mention that no drilling will be necessary, but maybe they haven't considered the need to attach the snorkel body to the A-pillar.

Glue pads come to mind but they would need to be strong and that means difficult to remove.

 Hello folks,

Back to the snorkel discussion, which one would you choose if getting any of them was not a problem? The Brazilian snorkel or the Bravo snorkel?
Aesthetically I am not sure which one looks better - I would like to get some opinions on it.

 

 

In terms of practicality, the Bravo snorkel seems better - no drilling required, it just replaces a small body panel. Easier to undo if necessary.
Performance wise, if that would mean something for the Jimny, the Bravo snorkel also seems better to me because it looks like it has less edges and turns along the inlet duct, which perhaps causes less turbulence in the air flow (?).
