Why do snorkels on 4x4s face forwards? Water will get in?
Discussion
I don't go much above top of the wheels. But the original intake has multiple inputs, and one is right above the wheels! The main intake is by the headlight. I've fitted a new engine and want to protect it and I prefer to have at least a foot between the water level and my air intake. Sometimes as you go thru water there are hidden holes that unexpectingly take you an extra foot under!
So which brands have float valves? I'd be curious to see.

In fairness the airbox used to stop most water going in. I did have muddy water upto the bonnet and my air intake was covered in mud inside upto the airfilter but no further. But that was with my old high mileage engine so I didn't care. Now I've fitted a low mileage lump so not taking risks!
