I'm not a fan of homebrew snorkels. But thats just me being anal....

As Josh stated, get the Airflow from DPG or JeepinOutfitters or the ARB from a number of different retailers.

well my 1994 XJ has ABS so the Airflow one says it doesn't work with ABS equipped vehicles.
is there a way around this?
do I need ABS?
I'd go ARB but there so freaking spendy!

When I was looking at them the Airflow snorkel was the one that I decided that I will get when I get one. http://www.dpgoffroad.com/airflowsnorkels.htm 
I decided this for a few reasons: 1. I liked the way that it went into the Airbox better.  It was not routed all the way underneath the box like the ARB one is; I just thought that it was a lot of unnecissary bends.  2. It was mounted higher on the fender so I if was to decide to put bushwackers on it could still be done (unless I get filthy rich, I highly doubt it).  3. I think that it was slightly cheaper too, but not much.  I think once comparing the ARB and Airflow it just comes down to your prefference of what you want.  They both seem to be reputable, more people go with the ARB I think though (not sure on this) for some reason.  Just make sure that if you decide to not make a homebrew one, that you buy an actual snorkel from a actual dealer.  It is more money but some people on this site have bought nock-offs and have gotten what they paid for, which amounted to junk.  So for this mock up spend the extra money it is actually worth it.  Reminder, all of this is just my opinion feel free to tear it apart.smile

the other nice feature on the airflow is you dont have to move your washer bottle/ oh wait you guys have the one inside, not in your fender. older xjs, nevermind.
