Which are better?

Customize ka nalang ng snorkel. Cheaper and, for me, look better. Unique ka and off roader talaga.

In the RFC of Malaysia a good number of "custom" made snorkels can be seen on majority of the participating vehicles, this may be coz of a lot of the vehicles have been modified to the extent that thier engines have been replaced making them difficult to install after market snorkels, but if you are concerned of "form and finish" an after market piece is really nice to look at

in the case of BJ40,
its P2,500 versus P11,000 (safari)
mapapa-isip ka talaga
wala parin akong snorkel

Among the two, mas gusto ko yung Safari. Because it looks good with the head facing forward or backward. Hindi din 'aerodynamic' ang look nito. Bagay na bagay sa mga rigs natin.

PAJEROKID,
Safari snorkel yun. yung abot hanggang roof. yun ang type ni kimpoy.

BOGART,
dito sa pampanga yung P2500. marami nang off-roaders dito ang gumagamit nun. siguro ok naman. kasi ginaya talaga ang orig. pati texture halos kuha na. may choice ka pa kung L-head or round head.

To answer your question re w/c is better between Airtec (TJM) and Safari. Both are manufactured in Australia, both use polyethylene plastic for their snorkels. Both function in the same manner.

The difference between the 2 lie in the snorkel head and body design - mostly aesthetics. And in the intermediate tubes and components linking the snorkel to the air cleaner.

I cannot say which of the 2 are better - it boils down to ones preference in design and manufacturers reputation. FYI Airtec does original equipment snorkels for Nissan Australia and Ford Australia.

Most of the local snorkel lookalikes are made from hand laden fiberglass - you should not expect a superior fit. It will not be as impact resistant as polyethylene.

Local snorkels utilize flexible ridged or corrugated tubes to connect the snorkel to the air cleaner so one can not expect an efficient flow of air.

When installing the copycat snorkels - you will need a lot of hose clamps and silicon sealant.

Whereas the orignal kits come complete with perfect fitting installation hardware.
