Corry, ive seen the video.. that car wasnt driveable after a week.. it was used in a crash test... so.. no real truth to the video... ive wanted to fit a snorkel to my 89 pajero for a better air feed to the engine.. the ram effect can help with fuel burning.. which should give better running efficiency on the engine.. not just the water crossings...

p.s. they dont make a snorkle for my pajero.. dirty bastards!
Safari (ARB Distribute them) and the Airtec (TJM Make/Distribute) are both good. Comes down to which one you prefer the look of, and the cost.

yeh.. true.. but how long after a dunking like that do you expect a vehicle to last?? the vehicle was rooted after that video.. yeh.. it drove out.. but it wasnt in good shape.. thats why it was used for crash testing

All depends on what you do with it when you get home. I've sunk my cruiser three times now. Water up to the top of the seat bases inside. It's amazing how amps and subs work under water.
My run down after doing this is to strip the interior out completly and go through all electrical connectors with Electra Kleen and then a dose of WD40. All carpets and seats get a thorough cleaning out. Yes, there is a fair bit of work involved, but if you wanna use a 4WD for what they are meant for, this is bound to happen at some stage.
The poor old girl is nearly 12 years old now and still going strong, not a spot of evidence of what it has been through.

safari snorkles are made by a turbo manufacture and are usualy flow rated to suit
cheers brad
I would hope that they are flow rated to alot more than the engine would like to breath, the last thing you want is a restriction with the air intake. Filters do enough of that as it is.
Snorkel wise, the bigger the better. Best thing Safari did was go up to the 3" snorkel.
