I have put a snorkel on yes... Was it fun... blaaa... Do I love it? YES! Its looks awesome..
Im the same way about looks.. I know they DIY snorkel does the same thing.. But I like my stuff to look as factory as possible..
Now if you were going to buy one here are a few things to look for... The safari snorkel is the best flowing one out there... One bend and its right in the air box..
This is great for maximum air flow to the box. The issue with that.. The Safari snorkel is made for the Navara 3.0 diesel motor. This is a AU version of the Frontier..
The Frontier has no hump in the fenders... The Xterra does..
This fender hump has caused this brand of snorkel to be a PITA! You really have to measure and measure before drilling out a 3" hole in the fender..
I have seem many people fuss about how this snorkel will not fit up right on out air box too...
Thats because this snorkel was made for something else, and happens to fit the Xterra.. On a scale of 1-10 this is a 9 on the mod rating..
AC offers one other snorkel that is a much better install, but has one extra bend in the piping. So to me its messing up the air flow or slowing the flow..
ITs about 30$ cheaper too..
For me I wanted improved air flow and performance and this did just that.. It looks sweet, and I have people ask me about it all the time.
I have gained 1 mpg since adding it too..
