There are quite a few options available these days so shop around until you find something your happy with but keep in mind space can be an issue here.
I personally will be fabricating my own when it comes time to do my snorkel install.

The original airbox inlet is via the LH front guard. When you install a snorkel, you cut through the inner guard, then run your pipe into the existing airbox inlet. Seal it with silicone, a tight rubber hose & clamp or whatever method works best for your build.

I was thinking of fitting the K&N inline unit which is a sealed housing with a cone type K&N washable filter inside it, but im still thinking of just fabricating my own up out of stainless.
If you didn't want to change your aircleaner setup, why not look at a per-filter?
You could pick one of them up cheap enough second hand....

Here ya go bloke,
I made this adapter with a bit of bent 3 inch pipe that i welded to a 3mm plate then chopped the under side out and die ground it back at a mates place. It is mounted to the base from a gas system. and heavy duty siliconed on!
I then went to a ricer shop and bought a inline podfilter, It is made by 'Monza' dunno what the part number is or anything the box is long gone. I then got some memory hose and fitted that to the snorkel inlet up to the filter. heres a pic,
The thing to point out here is i had a body lift on the beast at this stage and it only just cleared the bonnet after removing some of the under bonnet 'ribbing'
Also i would not recomend this on a road car as all the pod did was filter out the gravel that went down the snorkel, it let pretty much everything thing else in! I would stick with the stock filter it works real well, If i had one i wouldnt have made this!!!!
Hope this helps,
Steve.
