    Stainless tube snorkels go with leaf springs in my opinion. Plastic Safari for the Disco.

    So more plastic for the plastic fantastic
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    The induction noise with the window down and a aluminium snorkel solidly mounted to the windscreen frame is nearly as loud as the exhaust So plastic for less noise

    I would have to say that my metal snorkel seems to increase the induction noise... but it does sound cool

    Could that be because it flows better than plastic?
