    Also a snorkel is meant to increase fuel efficiency.
    A snorkel is designed to keep water out of your engine when you are wading in deep water. As a bonus, in dusty conditions at reasonable speed, they will reduce the dust intake. They are restrictive to air flow and if added to a stock engine with no other mods to counter their restrictive nature, will pull back horsepower and reduce economy.

    I had a snorkel fitted when I bought mine, before I drove it away, mine was more for dusty roads than water, but...
    What other mods should I be considering.?

    What i don't get is some snorkel brands advertise more fuel efficiency by adding a snorkel
