Also what's the hood scoop for? Is that to cool down the engine compartment? It seems contradictory to have a hood scoop and a snorkel, if the water is high enough to need the snorkel then the hood scoop can let water in and make it so there's no "air bubble" in the engine compartment, making the engine get more submerged.

Sportage with no snorkel or hood scoop can go into water up to the top of the hood, but with the scoop the water would spill right in. Better make sure you caulked the spark plug cover so water doesn't go in there.
