I noticed you can get two types. one being the black plastic scoop and the other being the alloy grille with slighlty turned up fins. I thought the alloy one may be better and would prevent the heater getting sodden

Gets wet regardless of vernts and grills in my experience, tis a crap position and a crap design.

I bought 2 from innovation 4x4. Stainless steel Externally rolled pipes.

They look great together. The only thing is, theres a constant blow of air from  the scoops so YES THEY WORK!!!!! 8)  Perhaps too well.

I have the black plastic one on my heater intake on the 110.
Due to its induction characteristics the faster you go the better it works.
If you are sat in traffic, or driving slow off road it won't make a blind bit of difference to your heater air intake volume.

Down A roads, and motorway, now thats a different story. Works great then.
I'm impressed by such a simple piece of equipment

i've got a military snow deflecotr on my heater vent, i found the heater stil works a treat. before it was fitted the thing would blow regardless now it just blows when i turn it on.
