Another advantage of having a snorkel or raised air intake fitted is the ability to deliver cooler air to the engine. Whatever the conditions outside, engine bays obviously contain heat and are not a great source of large amounts of cool, clean air. Taking your combustion air from roof-height means more effective and cleaner combustion, which has all sorts of benefits for your engine.
Modern snorkel kits are designed to be full sealed systems, which allows for air to be delivered to the engine from a higher point during water crossings. However, it is important to consider that other parts of the vehicle may still be damaged by water ingress, such as the alternator, electrical system, and in particular the axles and transmission. These assemblies have their own breathers and we sell separate kits to protect these parts against ingesting water and dirt.
