why does the top piece face forward and not back it would make more sence if it faces back so dust and dirt doenst get sucked in and rain stays out

@Modded25 Good Question... Take a look at ARB's website and they layout the thought and engineering that went into the snorkel. Like you the first time I saw the set up I had to scratch my head and read through their docs.

This is a joke, right? Couldn't you just drive slow thru the water and avoid seven holes in the side of your car?

???

@homewright2010 From Land Rovers to Jeeps to Land Cruisers and FJs, snorkels are used to aid in fording deeper water crossing. Desert convoys and racers use snorkels to pull air into the engine from (hopefully) a less dusty location up at the roof line.

@nathoniel01 yup I'm with you guys.... this mod is not for the faint of heart. A lot like jumping out of a perfectly good airplane :-)

@rusty78364 but doesnt that mess with the fuel to air ratio? to much air? and wouldnt you think that things like rain will get sucked in

[rusty78364]

@Modded25 I believe since it is the air intake... when you are driving the air gets forced into it like a funnel pushing the air into the intake as compared to shielding it from the air if it was facing backwards... I don not know this for sure but that's what I think.

@punchmaster123 Sorry don't know on a Bronco... might want to check ARB or Pirate4x4 to see if someone makes one for your rig.
