How does a snorkel kit work?
As the vehicle starts to move forward, the air is rammed down through the ‘scoop’ of the snorkel. The heavier dust and moisture particles are forced against the back of the snorkel head and are then vented through the drain holes at the bottom of the snorkel head. Clean, moisture-free air is rammed into the air intake.
