Home and Auto Snorkels on vehicles

**Rain Man** · 03-11-2018, 08:25 PM

There's an SUV that's been parking outside my house recently, and it looks like something that suzzer would drive to Patagonia. It's got extra gas cans strapped to the top, some sort of cargo carrier, big ol' spotlights that would blind an elk, and most importantly a snorkel.

Has anyone ever had a vehicle with a snorkel, and did you ever find yourself in a situation where you used it? I like them a lot and am considering putting a decorative snorkel on my BMW just to make it look even more cool.

Most likely this.

THere are very few people that mod up their vehicles actually usually them.

When I was riding my bike around town that any mother****er driving a ****ing noisy ass diesel pickup without actively pulling a trailer is indeed a douche.

Especially if it's noisy as ****.

Oh. I thought maybe I didn't understand what the snorkel did.

What would you charge to add a snorkel to a BMW roadster? And is it just a snorkel, or are there changes in the engine as well?

Im glad you made this thread. I saw one of those for the first time on an old Jeep Cherokee the other day. No clue what it's for.

in our neck of the woods, it is more common to have a snorkel, than not

matter of fact, i think it may cost extra to buy a ute that doesn't have one installed

Driving through water. Most air intakes are under the fenderwell.

I live in downtown Denver and my wife is often irritated at the massive pickups driving around. We don't think these are working vehicles. We think they're oil and gas analysts driving to work.

There's one that parks in our building that drives my wife crazy. He's got a reserved spot in the underground garage right in the tightest spot, and it's hard for other vehicles to get around him to their spot.

Does your vehicle have a snorkel? And do you use it? How often?

And isn't Australia pretty much all desert?
