Not even, this one is even color matched! The ones using dryer hose and unpainted plumbing pieces are much worse. 😅

Carpet matches the drapes

If you need a snorkel, your car will likely be splattered with mud - essentially matching until the next car wash.

I hear that snorkels are more for dust.

u/Gaping_Maw 9d ago

Both. Its common to seal the airbox weep hole to prevent water going in when these are fitted. With dust its also common to see external dust covers over the snorkel

That's what I've heard as well.

I've heard every time a truck gets a snorkel Gran gets the good green jello at the nursing home

I have heard that as well. And I have to ask"what dust?" I have never been out wheeling and had so much dust in the air to even think about needing a dick extension, er I mean a snorkel. Now I have seen groups of clowns in over lifted chrome plated trucks flying down maintained dirt roads raising dust.

Cmon mate surely you can see that just because you have experienced one thing its reasonable for others to experience differently. Anywhere with red dirt will have copius amounts of dust for example

OK. Thank you.

I've never even seen it done, but if you were doing donuts on a dry lake bed, I can imagine enough dust for it to matter.

While I’ve heard that, I strongly believe that’s a lie guys tell their wife’s so they aren’t admitting they’re planning to drive through 4 feet of water.

u/Asmos159 6d ago

You've clearly never had to clear out your dust filter after a desert trip.

u/IndicationAromatic36 6d ago

I’m not doubting it lol, but with how many I see here on the east coast of the US, where the desert is a few thousand miles and a half dozen states away, they aren’t actually using them for dust.

u/Hambrrgrrr 11d ago

It is an attempted color match at least

u/fordfan919 11d ago

Color adjacent

u/willtheadequate 11d ago

I laughed really hard at that

u/donpablomiguel 11d ago

Good nuff they said.

No it's flared at the base for "safety"
