I am thinking of fitting an Airtech
snorkel to my 100 series cruiser.This
snorkel fits very flush along the front pillar and the air intake is at the top of and flush with the windscreen . Apparantly the air flowing up the screen causes a ram effect and assists intake,but what stops rainwater being rammed into the intake as
well.They are a great looking
snorkel and very aerodynamic but the rainwater worries me.

Chapo,
Before you fit the Airtec
snorkel there are afew points to think about. 1) what is your planned usage of the vehicle? If you plan to do a lot of trips outback, in convoy, or sand. Then I would recommend the Safari
snorkel as you can turn the ram around or fit a pre cleaner. 2) Do you really need to fit a
snorkel? If it is a petrol vechicle there is no real advantage unles you are doing water crossings. If you do get one fitted make sure it is fitted by a qualtiy 4WD store as it will do more harm then good if not properly fitted and sealed.
