Best snorkel - Nakatanenga combined with Nugget Stuff air filter.

Do you really mean "snorkel" or do you mean "raised air intake"? They are very different.

As Banksy (!) says, a snorkel is fully sealed against water ingress whilst an RAI isn't.

Most of the cheap and easy to fit offerings are RAIs, snorkels tend to be more expensive and better engineered. The Defender airbox and the horrendous duct from the wing the to the airbox are so chronic that there is little chance of sealing them effectively (and the duct is so restrictive that it restricts performance) and if you are serious about making improvements a well-engineered product such as that which I suggested above makes sense. If however you just want a vanity product to look cool you might as well fit a bolt on type that connects in place of the wing intake.

Why do you want to fit one? Fashion or function?

Blackwolf, I've bought a 90 with a vanity RAI I don't want, I feel you'd enjoy removing it, offer is there.
