Slight decrease in MPG, but not as bad as sucking in an engines-worth of water or dust

unnoticable reduction, but it worth every penny to prevent the water from running from the wing mirror across the window blocking the view through the mirror
Oh and if it rains a lot you can go wading 8) Duncan

MPG almost unchanged, engine a bit noisier (especially if you open the window) but a nice sound (if you are fond of mechanics), a limited increase in wind noise and a weird effect of suction, causing sometimes the window not to close at high speed... for the rest, by the look and by the use, worth every penny...
PS: I wouldn't be so positive about the safari snorkel which is way noisier than the G4 et better in wading.
Cheers A second D3 ! This time with all whistles and bells (Auto, 7seats, Diff Lock, RAI, all kinds of protections, winch, Extended range tank, iPod adapter....)
First time twice the same car ! and first time third car of the same brand !
I'm loving it !
