I was just wondering if its safe to drive in the rain with a snorkel...
Im asking because from the way it looks rain might get sucked in???

Granted I have the pre-filter on mine, but never a drop of water or snow in mine.

I've drive thru down pours for hours and open the filter to see it dry, and I also have gone thru a few umm deep puddles and had water dripping off the snorkel, we opened it up and found it bone dry inside.

River Raider works great and so does AEV, been extremely tested see below links
