Don’t know how practical this is, could be pretty silly, but it’s just a thought that went through my head. Would it be possible to have some sort of temporary removable snorkel? I was thinking simply a length of 2-3 inch diameter flexible tubing with some sort of attachement to your air intake which you put in place for a water crossing and then remove. Cost maybe less than $30. Obviously it would be more hassle than a permanent snorkel but for the amount of time a vehicle actually spends crossing water doesn’t seem to justify a permanent snorkel, not mention the extra wind noise and extra amount of bugs and crap in your air filter. Seems to me the biggest problem would be where to run the tubing from your intake to the A pillar, maybe even just run it to the top back corner of the engine bay.
Obviously if you regurlarly do water crossings you’d stick with the usual, but for someone who has a snorkel more as insurance for the occasional water crossing I thought it may be an option. Any comments. Anyone done it before perhaps????
