I have a Safari snorkel. All fitted professionally and works as advertised. I've had water over the bonnet during creek crossings without issue.
This just came out from the inimitable "Christian und Vera von Land Rover Time"
Snorkel Intake - Forward or Backward? Land Rover Discovery TDV6 - YouTube
They claim an improved fuel consumption of nearly 1L/100km with the instake facing to the rear. That's with a usual cruising speed of 140kph (which is consistent with my limited experience of driving in Germany).
Has anyone tried this, or have other data to support their claim, here in Aus?
Methinks I may have to do the experiment.
I have already noticed that driving to and from work, all of 5km each way, my consumption is in the 14+ range. But when I'm fully laden, complete with tent, awning, fuel and some tables on the roof, it drops to around 11.5.
This is not from the car computer, but measured via the fill-to-fill method.
