Clean air is just as important for your vehicle as it is for your body. A snorkel relocates your engine’s air intake point from a relatively low and vulnerable position under the bonnet to a much higher and safer location where a constant source of cool, clean air is available.
And because a snorkel is forced through the air as the vehicle travels, it creates what is known as ram air effect. This has often been found to provide a welcome increase in engine performance.
