Nomadtech Snorkel Jeep Wrangler JK - Raised Air Intake
The Nomadtech snorkel relocates the air intake point from the engine bay up to roof height on the Jeep Wrangler JK, greatly reducing the risk of water ingestion while wading and dust or mud intake on rough trails.

Nomadtech Snorkel for the Jeep Wrangler JK
The Nomadtech snorkel is a raised air intake system that relocates the intake point from the low engine bay up to roof-line height on the Jeep Wrangler JK. This lets the engine draw in clean, dry air instead of dust kicked up near the ground, or water encountered while wading through rivers and flooded trails.
Nomadtech designs off-road accessories for real-world conditions - the UV-resistant plastic won't fade or crack in freezing temperatures, and the precisely shaped tube geometry minimizes wind noise at highway speed.
