yea i think a snorkel is over kill.they look cool.if you end up needin a snorkel theres alot of other stuff that would proably shut you down before suckin in water.my cone filter is about a foot higher than the top of my tire. thats probably more than i'll ever need

check out this snorkel video though. i would have been crappin my pants. this guy for sure needed a snorkel.
