SubscriberIm curious if I am the only one who hasn't yet fitted a snorkel to my Defender.
The reason being is that they aren't cheap and I keep telling myself the money is better spent on other Mods as I dont see myself flooding my car anytime soon.
Am I missing something, does the snorkel serve a more important purpose then what I think it does. I will get around to it eventually but not any time soon.
Cheers.

I don't have one. It is on the list, but where it is on the list depends on how I am viewing my to do list on any particular day...
It is on the want list for looks primarily, sure you get cleaner air but I can swap a lot of air filters for the price of a snorkle.
As for water, unless the system is sealed the engine will eat water anyway, but that's moot for me as I'm paranoid about water crossings and mud so should never be in anything vaguely approaching dangerous levels.

BAS UK recon that a RAI will cost you about ten BHP. Not sure if that is at the crank or wheels. Make sense when you think about it, however it was quite a surprise that it was that much. I will effect economy.

In the grand scheme of things, I don't consider 10bhp to be that much. But when I want power I want bag loads of it. Greedy I guess

That's surprising. I would have thought the extra length of air travel would result in negligible loss of airflow - or is the intake surface area substantially smaller than that of the stock air intake?BAS UK recon that a RAI will cost you about ten BHP.

10 BHP aint much in normal cars, but its 10% of a defenders output!Cost or gain?

isn't 10% of nothing still nothing?!?!
I wonder why it is that much though, unless the snorkel is narrowest part of the air intake system then why is is having such an impact?
Will also depend on which snorkel I would suggest!

I bought mine to get the intake away from the dust,I have no intention of going into water. Pat
