Default snorkel???? anny ideas

im looking for ideas on how to build or where to locate a snorkel. I have a CAI now so i have the cover already. just dont wanna chop the hood all to hell and not sure what other choices i have.

i was thinking about running it into the air inlet for the heater and A/C but im worried about cabin noise. also about air restriction.

Please serious answers im sick of filling the intake with water when im playing.

Get a jeep?
I had contemplated this briefly...I would say 2 options off the top of my head...go out the pass side behind the head light...(depending how deep you get)
or, umm...yea, AC inlet, but it will be loud. Or, get the sawzall out!

Remenber to seal up your diffs! Mine has an elevated vent in the front, but its about power steering pump level...

diffs are already sealed and revented to about the bottom of the hood and have check valves in them. did that yesterday. alone with moves all the wiring from the floor level to the roof liner. (interior) and im trying to avoid any major slicing and dicing i dont wanna have to buy a hood if i need to sell.

and driving a jeep in the ADK is just stupid. yea great 4x4s and handling but the soft top means when its 40 below (like 4 weeks out of the winter) i freeze my *** off and hell with that ****.

Jeep doesnt mean wrangler(grand cherokees,cherokees, wrangler with hard top) and I know our cj with the heat on the windows are down cause it gets hotter than hell. You can go out the passenger side fender and up the windshield thats what I did on my grand cherokee.

My front differential as well as a vent that comes up to the side of the passenger side wheel well; about the same height as power steering pump..
