    I'd go with #1, looks more aggressive.

    I say don't try to run the snorkle inside - keep it outside. The size of the snorkle tube you would need to keep the engine from asphyxiating is going to be bigger around than the A-pillar is! Add a bunch of turns and twists in there to get it in, under and through the dashboard into the engine bay and you will probably be starving that engine for air no matter how big you can get the piping.

    ...and I phrased it REALLY badly froom the get go.



    Technical questions are one thing , I just feel that the "look" of a VX is very personal , and a matter of individual choice.

    ....and so it should be.

    It should look how YOU want it to look!

    Heck....many hate my cowcatcher !

    But yer right...my bad for being so brusque.

    Yeah but I understand what you meant.That's why i told costie have professional advice for the mod he's about to pull off,I mean no one here never,ever did this kind of mod on any VX.Personally I can't thing more on the VX's roof then a sunroof or fake antenna.Costie wants to "turn" the VX into a rally VX.however what intrigues me about costie's rally mods is the facts that the VX was born-made for all offroading purposes,including rally so mayor modifications aren't needed for the VX to performe flawlessly.The VX won the paris-dakar twice with no mods at all costie.
    However costie do what you got to do,if you really wants that mod go ahead.

    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    I would go #2 myself.

    #1 just looks like it belongs on a hood, not a roof. IMO
