FAQ:
Why Snorkel?
Simply put – The right snorkel can be the best insurance you buy for your UTV. The right snorkel can protect you expensive investment from disaster when submerged deeper than OE rated water depth. On the other hand, the wrong snorkel can be your worst investment and nightmare.
How could that happen?
Snorkels leak for a variety of reasons. Installation errors account for a lot these. Many times a do-it-yourselfer may get it right, but only for a short time. When pipes aren’t cut to correct length and things don’t line up quite right, many times the snorkel will prevent water, but only for a limited time, and then the joint fails. One of the most common issues that we’ve seen is failure due to a heat source. When the snorkel runs close to heat source, the snorkel material deteriorates during each ride. The material gets harder and more brittle, and many times begins to deform. At some point, the material cracks and begins to let mud and water in. Less expensive kits rarely provide the heat resistant material to account for this. Our goal is to avoid these areas. This can take more time and more material, but goes a long way to extending the life of the snorkel and the UTV.
What does a Snorkel do?
A Snorkel Kit is intended to provide clean, dry air to the engine and other parts needing venting, such as clutches, differentials, transmission, carburetors, and fuel tanks. This doesn’t necessarily mean the vehicle should exceed the OE manufacturer’s stated maximum rated water line depth. The Snorkel Kit is intended as an additional margin of protection in the event that the vehicle is inadvertently driven into water deeper than the OE manufacturer’s air intakes will tolerate. There are many considerations to make when increasing water line depth, and a snorkel is just one component.
