The Rugged Ridge XHD Snorkel System can be run with hi or low mount. Something that I like a lot is that it can be removed without leaving holes in the body unlike other snorkel’s on the market. The install seals up tight and does exactly what it’s supposed to.
The only negative I found is that it took a few installs to understand there are were a few things that aren’t covered in directions to get it to fit just right, however, with a little massaging it can be done.
Overall, in my opinion it’s the best snorkel on the market for the JK/JKU.
The new Modular XHD Snorkel System from Rugged Ridge relocates the vulnerable stock air intake location to help reduce dust clogged filters and the risk of hydro-locking your engine. It is also the first snorkel designed with the modular functionality of a Pre-filter Low Mount and Ram High Mount air intake design. Unlike other snorkels, flexibility for functionality does not need to be given up. It was designed to allow the windshield to fold and doors be removed.
The Modular XHD Snorkel System comes standard with the Pre-filter Low Mount. The Pre-filter Low Mount relocates the air intake to just below the windshield and draws cool air from outside the hot engine compartment. The optional Ram High Mount design allows the air intake to be extended up an additional 21″ to the top of the windshield. The two air intake mounts are easily interchangeable to give you the modular functionality best suited to your needs.
