You DO get the cleaner cooler air, but they dont flow enough for the V6. Just unclipping the airbox top off the lower on our dyno leaving the filter in place gained 7hp over breathing via the snorkel, and 12hp on the supercharged 3.5.
So I run two airbox entries for the street and close one and use only the snorkel for the dirt. I'm usually in low range anyway so it doesnt matter
Thats good info. I can't comment on how this one affects performance since I haven't completed the install but i'm eager to find out.

Another possible option to increase airflow:



From the Airflow website:
"All our current Cold Air Induction Snorkel kits are supplied with this Air Ram, which provides 3.8 times free air to the engine. However, some customers prefer a lesser performance to the benefit of a more pleasing look… So, by popular demand, we have re-released the square Air Ram. Despite its lesser free air performance (only 1.85 times), this Air Ram may be more pleasing to the eye when associated with a “squarish” vehicle. So the choice is yours, looks or performance, Airflow Vector has it all!"

Since the VX isn't square, the new style air ram could be purchased to increase air flow & change the look. I'm thinking about for it myself...
