The ARB, Dobinson's, etc kits will work with the US airbox, it's just a bit of effort. You'll want to heat up the rubber connector (~4" diameter hose, I think) to get it on though as the rubber is round and the US airbox is sort of oblong. The worm clamps that the kits come with will secure the connector.

Eric, did your guys seal off the drain hole in the air box or did you add a valve?
Also, is that some PPF on the lower section of the snorkel?
4" Black for me plz.
4" SB PC, ship it to the madhouse and I'll come grab from you

Oh my god the BS on this thread is full tilt. I don't think you can measure the performance difference... and if you could it would be microscopic.
On one of the aircraft I fly I can select for filtered or ram air (once at cruising altitude, like to keep the engines clean):
220+ mph of ram air + completely bypass the engine air filter = little less than 1" of manifold pressure.
An inch of additional manifold pressure (at high altitudes it's less) gets you a very, very small increase in performance.... However remember that I am operating the aircraft at full throttle. As soon as you back off from full throttle you are using the throttle butterfly to restrict MAP, so the 1/2" or less that you lost is meaningless.
Now... if you are into top speed runs at Bonneville with your LC this may not be the right product for you.

@BlackMammoth That's interesting, but what's the point?
The best part of this thread is how everyone ignored you and refused to take the bait (even after insulting everyone)

Kidding, just kidding. Sometimes people really do need help self sensoring and using a filter when expressing there thoughts. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and should be allowed to express it but how you express it matters. I appreciate this forum because most of us understand this and can do that.

Some people just can't get out of their own way.
I tend to give folks the benefit of the doubt online because social media is a lot like tequila. It bestows a false sense of freedom from consequences that will eventually come. On the other hand, some people's real-life personalities translate pretty accurately on the internet. I suspect that may be the case there.

Looks like it will be awful close, but it may be offset just enough. May want to ask @Eric Sarjeant if he can measure the distance from the top most part of the windshield glass to the innermost edge of the snorkel. From the pics that radman posted in the first post, it seems like it may be ok.
Hmm, “might clear, but it’ll be close” is not my preference. Also, I think in warmer weather when the PS shadow awn is on I’ll end up with a maelstrom of turbulence at the inlet even if it does fit. Sorry to muddy the thread guys. I’m psyched there will be a lot more of the rolling around. Good luck with them!

Bummer. I am not sure it would clear the awning at any rate.
