I have a chance to get a solid metal cone type snorkel top for 20 squid.

or I can have a bend in the top facing backwards.

im stuck between the two, what do you guys think?

Cone style precleaner. The engine has a helluva suck and an open bent tube may allow it to suck leaves and twigs in.

South down snorkel top maybe? K n filters allow alot of moisture in the wet.

backward bend is better, it makes a great noise for one!
also less edges to catch on stuff

hmmmm to be fair im usually playing music at full whack in either case so I probably won't be able to hear it. I'll stick with the cone top.

cheers for the help as always lads, much appreciated!
