Why do some people have snorkels on their ATV's exhaust?
I've recently begun taking interest in quads and I've always known of having snorkels for the intake. It makes sense being that the intake sucks in air for the engine. However, why put a snorkel on your exhaust? Exhaust pushes air out from the engine, not sucking in. And they look trashy. I'm not trying to be a smart ass, I'm just curious, have you ever seen a snorkel on a truck's exhaust?
Presumably so they can take their ATV through deep water.
Theoretically, if the intake air is above the water level, the ATV will not stop running.
Of course, wet electronics, wet ignition system and water in the gas could just as easily stop the ATV in the middle of the deepest part of the creek too. Then the rider gets to swim.
I believe they just think it's cool.
