Mantec v safari snorkel

I wanted an Australian made product, that I could trust for years to come, and that would be able to be installed exactly as the instructions said. No bending, extra cutting, etc.
My mate rolled his triton ute. The safari snorkel was unscathed, but the panel it attached to was totally destroyed. Snorkel lives on.
For a truck you want to keep for a fair while and is going to exist in harsh environments, wear knocks and scratches well, etc? Safari.
For a bush pig built on the cheap? Ebay special :)
I wanted the best option available, and I was prepared to pay for it.

Yep, I do agree with those reasons :) Which is the reason I went that way. I think those triton gaurds are rubbish though, a friend did the same, or rather his mrs did and the safari lives on!! :D

But if I put my hand over the top and seal it the engine revs don't change do to think this means it's sucking air somewhere else?

Check the flexible connection from the air box to the inside of the guard. Recently had to change mine , the cloth like cover over the wire insides had deteriorated, and had been sucked into the air box, ending up on the underside of the air filter. Don't listen to the nay sayers, nothing wrong with the Mantec. Good enough for the G4, good enough for me. Bob

Guess the main differences are that the Mantec is more internal than the Safari.
Personally I prefer the Safari, but other than that I don't think there's much between them.
