Thing with snorkels is, unless you are planning a trip where more than likely you will need it then you buy one for purpose. If you are not going to do such a trip then don't bother. I bet my left nut a good 3 of 5 snorkel fitted cars never see more water than a bit of rain on the road.

I beg to disagree, Duck.
I blew up an engine in my MK Triton in water that was barely deeper than the official "wading depth". In that case the engine fan flicked water up into the air intake. Not much, but enough to bend conrods, destroy bearings and require a $5K rebuild.
Luckily it was a V6 petrol engine so, even damaged, it still got me home. How tough are those 6G7's?
I've had snorkels ever since.
