Well I have been saving for my sas but decide to wait another year until its paid off so i spent some money on these http://www.4x4rockshop.com/scripts/prodVie...?idproduct=1952 I don't like dragging my belly over stuff so I thought these would help.. And I will be getting street legal headers for it also ......

Also I have a ? a guy the other day told me when you get a snorkel it makes your mpg go down a bit... Is this true? He was saying he got 11mpg b4 and after he was gettin like 8...

I'm no expert, but everything I've read and seen seems to hint at getting a little extra power with a snorkle. To me, that would hint at getting better mileage as well.

It all depends on how well the snorkel flows, bad flow less power = less economy.

Good or better flow + cooler air more power=better economy to some extent....
