snorkel and rain?

[jeeper821]

has anyone running a snorkel ever have any probs. with freeway driving in the rain?
where does the water go when it enters the top of the snorkel, will it go into the filter box? or does it have some kind of a drain?
i was thinking of getting one and just wanted to know.
thanks.

Mine hasn't been a problem so far, but during heavy rains, I am known to reach out the window and turn the nozzle backwards.

I have been running an ARB snorkle since 99'. I haven't had a problem with heavy rain. It has drain holes for water to get out along the sides of the nozzle. But I have never had water in the filter box. If it's really bad out I will turn the nozzle around to face the back of the jeep. Juice

Its not the rain you have to worry about.

its the expandable foam.

The rain goes in and hits the back of the intake. There are a couple of drain holes to let the water out. I've never had a problem. I didn't get the snorkle for deep water but for dust. I was having problems having to change the air filter every day when wheeling in dusty areas. At the time I was running a 2.5L. The funny thing is that I picked up 5+mph on the freeway with the snorkle. I guess it was the ram effect.
