Why Should You Get a 4x4 Snorkel

For a car to run you need two things, one is fuel and the other air and when you are going off-roading you could come across a situation where it is hard for your engine to get air and that is why installing a snorkel could be a good accessory to add to help protect your vehicle. The aim of a snorkel is to get cooler, cleaner air from above the car to the engine which could improve the performance on the road. When off-roading you might be faced with deep water crossings that could let water into the engine and if the valves that take air into the engine get blocked by water the engine could seize causing your vehicle to stop working.
