Thread: Why two snorkels?

Its cause they think it looks cool.

Angus

but it does look cool

Because some people fit bigger motors than the piddly rover V8 and need more air

Could be justified if your inlet manifold looked like this:

AND IT DOSEN"T.............IT LOOKS CRAP!!

A friend has a County with a 4BD1T and two snorkels. The left hand one is plumbed into the footwells for ventilation using rainwater and greywater fittings. It has two greywater butterfly valves to control air flow into either footwell. Beats hell out of LR's no ventilation system.

Mate had 2 on his TD5

One fed cleaner air into the heater intake. He spent a lot of time in slop/mud and found the heater intake on the wing sucked in water etc...


Its also a good place to route cabling for roof lights etc...
