    Glad you got a full refund. We are pointing out the flaws they need to do more to compensate everyone. I guarantee those guys are keeping eyes on this thread but are too chicken to respond. Whoever is running the company sure as hell doesn't know what they are doing with the public relations side. If the class action gets serious let me know people.

    I keep saying it but it is criminal they are still selling that crap snorkel on their website with known issues. Consumer protection act anyone?

    I’m glad it worked out for you. I have mine all set to be shipped back since I figure I’m going to need to send something back at some point. Of course, the risk I take is that they come out with a revised version and I’m back at the $1000 price, whereas I paid $700 for what I have and could have swapped it for a revised version.

    I'd just ask them up front if they plan to honor your original paid price for the revised product when its available. They'll either say absolutely, or they'll likely say it costs us more to make/more material/better quality/more testing/etc, so we can't honor the original price, and then you can decide if you want to take your business somewhere else or not. Or they may run you around saying they'll honor it, and find out later it cost them more and go back on their word. Never hurts to ask though.

    Thank god UpTop has R4T and his band of shills like Talon Sei and Last Line of defense to peddle their worthless parts. UpTop is to overlanding what Affliction and Tapout is to 15 year old boys…but I digress

    My racks and lighting work great. Faulty product was replaced. The snorkel sales page has been edited. Y'all can return it if you want. This reddit pitchfork shit is weak.

    Check build thread!
    All I'm gonna say is I love my ARB snorkel :anonymous:

    Nah but jokes aside, I was sick of killing air filters so often, so I decided to go with my ARB Snorkel. Looked at this one, but I was scared off by how small the company was. Would recommend it 10/10 times. I love how it looks, I'm aware some don't.

    MAF readings before and after from @SK808 say otherwise. I'd ask UpTOP what they've found with NA engines.
