Think they both do the job, Land Rover one is better looking, Safari one is half the price or less==================================

The LR one is a raised air intake ..not a snorkel ...the Safari one is a snorkel but has greater risk potential 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Because it's not designed for a sealed system ....having a Safari imo will encourage you to go deeper ..get water on the bonnet for longer ...you might not flood the engine but risk the electrics or floating away 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

I went with the RAI as I reckon it looks better. I noticed the wind noise above 80kph, but used to it now.

Thanks for that but I'm a little confused'
So it sounds like the both do different jobs the safari allows you to wade through water but the genuine Landrover doesn't ! So what does it do ?

It raises the air intake so your not sucking in as much dirty air.

Raised Air Intake is to reduce the amount of dust being sucked into the filter.
edit. too slow

Ok getting now! Does the raised air intake provide the engine with more air or just cleaner air ? And does the Safari snorkel do both allow wading and proved more/cleaner air ?
