If snorkles really forced air into engines and made a diference to performance V8 super cars would have them. Even pro stock drag cars only use trumpet inlets on their carbys. The best thing about them is the air inlet is high above the water when crossing rivers and deep puddles.

unless its an older car and you plan on sinking it , even with tookies drowning episode the water was still not high enough to get in the intake , but hey its your car

Hey Dylan, how would you know what I use my truck for?
In my MK I was lucky to have a snorkle on during a trip up on stockton beach.
Cruising through some 600mm deep (fresh) water all of a sudden I droped into a hole and had water up over my bonnet / windscreen & roof.
Dont judge just by what people say on here.
And the trips we want to do out west in the future definatly call for some fresh air into the engine.
I will not have another 4B without a snorkel now that I have had them on my last 2 Tritons
Go for it daryn

X2.... Cleaner air, Cooler Air, plus the benifits of water crossings... for the $$'s they are a must...
Anyone giving you grief should get standard response 101 as mentioned by Snowman...
