Reviews for AEV Snorkel Kit with Ram Air for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
Easy install, just follow the instructions as they are good.
Was a little traumatic cutting the hood but no issues.
Shipping and packaging was also very good, thanks.

Absolutly fantastic, does a great job of keeping water and dust out of my intake system. Looks decent too.
Perfect! First cut is traumatic, but one you’re past that, this is a pretty easy installation. This combined with breather tube extensions make for a fording beast.
Packaging good enough to prevent damage.
Instructions simple and straight forward.
All hardware was in the bag.
I supplied my favorite silicone.
Template is just that. A template. You have to final fit the tube and recheck the hood cut out, unless you have the AEV hood. Not hard. Just sand/prep and paint.
Very little alignment, and true to statement, about 1/8 away from fender. Just enough room.
Very happy with price point, fit, performance upgrade, and look of this part.
This is an excellent snorkel! I installed it on my 2009 JK X and will be installing on my current 2017 JKU Recon. The biggest decision you have to make when deciding to buy this kit is whether you want to cut your hood, unless of course you also purchase their heat reduction hood. After you commit to cutting, you won’t regret it. Fuel mileage increases, especially when paired with a quality air filter and offroad it gives you piece of mind at water crossings. AEV is a great company with unmatched customer service and Jeep knowledge.
Colder air into your engine and better performance. Great product, absolutely love the look as well.
Great snorkel, install was a breeze once you get over the fear of cutting your hood! YOLO I like it, good peace of mind for me, we have crazy weather and flood often.
Awesome snorkel at an awesome price. Easy install, took 3 hours on my 2014 JKU. My average MPG went from 12.9MPG to 17.5MPG after adding this snorkel and recalibrating Speedo for my 2957017 33.3” BFG KM3 tires. Cold air really helps. I want to add the prefilter next.
I just installed this AEV Snorkel on our '17 JKU Rubicon Recon. We originally purchased the Rugged Ridge snorkel but returned it due to the MANY connections throughout the system and was concerned about a leak point. I have not had a chance to run the jeep yet with the AEV snorkel installed but as far as looks and ease of installation (and ONE connection point) I am thoroughly impressed. I was a little apprehensive about cutting into our hood but once I started the cuts my husband started to rub in the fact "there's no turning back". I will say once you get past the feeling of cutting a perfectly good hood the rest of the install is easy. Instructions are VERY straight forward and a lot of thought went into this snorkel on AEV's part. They even include an "anti-rattle" piece of rubber to place on your antenna to prevent vibration rattle between the antenna and snorkel body and all parts needed including rivets. The instructions call for a pop-rivet gun but I used a manual hand riveter and it worked just fine. I feel we will be just as pleased with the function of this snorkel as we are the looks and ease of installation. If you're debating this snorkel just go for it. You won't regret it.
I am very happy with AEV snorkel kit, spent some time to choose one and i think this is the best to have, sturdy good looking snorkel, perfect, thanks guys.
