    Hey guys,
    i have found a snorkel I actually like the look of – any technical advice or comments on the intake being at the rear and underside? I added some photos to show it.
    This snorkel originates from Kazakhstan so was wondering if the engine would suffer from our climate and driving style in the desert?
    Thanks ๐Ÿ˜€

    Engine wont suffer but the wallet wud. This model retails for around 450 usd plus 100 usd shipping. :-ss :-ss

    You can get a snorkel locally from Shangai Trading for AED 250 only and you can turn the snorkel head 180* degrees ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€

    Sometimes you’ve just got to pay to look good ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I’m really not keen on the look of an everyday snorkel – thought this would be the alternative to the river raider I also had my eye on – yes, it’s expensive – it’s either this or another handbag for my wife ๐Ÿ˜€

    I know what I’d rather :drive:

    With the intake so close to the roof, when getting a sand shower and sand laid on the roof, it will go inside.
    When intake is “in the air” there are minimum chances to get sand inside snorkel.
    Unless it has a “drain” at the bottom.
    This is purely theoretical, only tests would show.

    PS: what’s with this snorkel-mania these days, everyone is looking for them, and they are meant for mainly water crossing ๐Ÿ˜€ :ymsmug: :ymhug:
