not it wouldnt..... it moves the intake higher where less dust is therefor less dust is picked up by the filter.


I get that, but a good filter will stop anything from getting through. A snorkel kit is like $400 not counting install. A filter cost ~$40 and last ~30k miles and is going to be replaced regardless of whether you have a snorkel or not. It may mean you replace the filter less often but I have a hard time thinking you'll come out ahead by getting a snorkel installed.

Helps with dust.


How does it POSSIBLY help with dust? Also that's what cabin air filters are for.

It ain't for the cab it's for the engine air intake. The snorkel gets the intake above most of the dust. For instance, the intake on an 07 Tacoma is just above the passenger side front wheel well so it catches plenty of dust, weed seed, and other stuff.

When I was driving on dry, silty roads where the dust was so bad you couldn't see behind you, I'd get like 1 month out of a filter
