What on earth are you on about !
How do you figure the Safari is more efficient ? You have not offered one scrap of proof only opinion.
Where is this supposed back pressure developed?
Think about it; both units have little difference in the cross sections of the air path and very little diference in path length so where is Safari advantage ?
Has anyone ever done a flow
test on either unit ? Have you ever seen a set of pressure readings taken from the inside the
snorkel ?
I'd also be very sceptical about the supposed 'ram' effect until shown a set of readings from inside the snorkle which actually showed a positive pressure in there. Given the amount of air an internal combustion engine uses I'd be surprised if the readings showed a positive value for either unit.
Are you sure you aren't being taking in by the aggressive looking inlet of the Safari ? I don't reckon it would have any advantage as far as air flow compared to the Airtec. If anything, possibly by virtue of its smooth curved path, the Airtec may offer a better flow characteristic that the sudden right angle bend of the Safari.
