Alright, so here's what it looks like:

I had to use 5 thick washers (3 top, 2 bottom) between the snorkel and roof rack brackets to prevent the pre-filter from contacting the roof rack support. I'm hoping the air ram will let me remove one or two washers. Another alternative would be to add a short extension between the snorkel and pre-filter. Any chance AEV would be working on something like that? Hmmm? Pretty please? :-D

Here are some more pics...

Yup, flat black. I didn't actually want the pre-filter, but the air ram top isn't available yet. The pre-filter is a Donaldson, so I expect the air ram will be also. I've been trying to find one, but no-one stocks the smaller diameter Donaldson intake parts.

It looks very good. Could you post more pics?

Here are more pics of the install:

I have a few more from this week-end, but haven't had time to run them through photoshop yet...

I have wanted to purchase the snorkel, but am trying to think it through. My main problem is in trying to decide if the newer garvin racks for the 08 tap into the front of the windshield as opposed to the side. The pics on line are somewhat different. If the mount from the front of the windshield I should not have the bar on the side prenet an issue, right? Any thoughts before I commit? Gus

Garvin's website still shows the 07+ roof rack with the side bolts / mount. If the design hasn't changed, then you'll need some washers to fit the AEV snorkel with the pre-filter. If you get the ram air intake instead, you don't need the washers (that's what I'm running now). You can always send Ron Garvin and e-mail and ask.
