A snorkel on the New GV is a must due to the Airbox intake being just behind the grill, so it's easy to get water into the airbox and sucked into the engine.
The snorkel is made from a sturdy fibreglass material and is designed specifically to fit the unique shape of the Grand Vitara with no other snorkel on the market.
Not only is it tough and durable, it looks great as well. This snorkel won't make your ride look like a truck but instead adds to the overall asthetics of an already well designed car.
Simple to fit with detailed step by step instructions, those with the confidence to to drill the the hole could manage in an afternoon, if drilling isn't for you - your local 4WD fitter should be able to do the job in about 2 hours - just ask them for a quote.
So why would you even want a snorkel? Snorkels were initally designed for outback travel to prevent the thick dust from clogging your air-box and preventing the airflow your engine needs to breath and operate efficiently.
They are also more commonly known for allowing your vehicle to cross creeks and rivers without the unwanted intake of water that can easily drown an engine and leave you stranded.
In daily driving, the snorkel looks good! It allows cool fresh air into the engine helping it to perform more efficiently around town. Under normal driving conditions this may prolong the life of your air filter and lead to improved torque
