Reasons Why You Should Invest in 4Wd Snorkels

Most 4Wd SUV owners who are serious about crawling over challenging terrain usually don’t put so much thought into improving their vehicle’s air intake system. However, in my experience, more air (even at slow rocking speeds) can give your wrangler additional power when you need it the most. That’s why bellow we will go through the benefits of using 4wd snorkels.

The engines of most 4Wd SUV already have air intakes on the front part of the car or the inner guard (as close as possible to the grill) because it’s there where the airflow is the coolest.

There are a couple of reasons why the 4Wd snorkels are an effective engine performance increaser. Whether your SUV is on diesel or petrol, the air flow plays a great role, because together with the fuel mix it creates combustion. By installing a snorkel, the air consumption is increased, therefore the engine burns more fuel and works splendidly.

Another great benefit of the air intake is the location of the snorkel – it is installed on the roof level. Because of the height, the snorkel gets less dust thus reducing wear and tear on the engine which means less money spent on replacing busted parts.

Regarding the improvement of your off-road performance, these snorkels offers you the ability to drive through areas filled with water. For instance, before I got a snorkel installed on my SUV, I could hardly drive through water that was half meter deep. Now with a snorkel installed, I can cross areas filled with water that’s even 1.5 meters deep. The reason for this is because the snorkel regulates the air intake so I can (without any problem) pass a river and reach my desired location.

So, bottom line, if I had to describe these little helpers in one sentence, I’d say that not only do they provide an easier way to pass through water without damaging your engine, they also improve the overall engine performance. The air ram helps filter the moisture that could have found its way inside the snorkel so that the engine remains undamaged by it.

Finally, if you are travelling daredevil as myself, getting all the top-notch equipment is a must for having a safe and fun journey. Sometimes the terrain won’t be as predictable as you may imagine prior to the trip and rain alone can create circumstances impossible to cross without 4Wd snorkels. That’s why you should take your time and find the best snorkel Australian retailers have to offer.
