I run mine with the snorkel out..never had a prob
        
 all I use it for is gravel/off road...
        
 In fact the DNA filter system is the only probs
        
 I have had... they let dust though.. & the side
        
 air box filter lets water in if you stop long
        
 enough in deep water...
        
 I now have oiled foam filter in it...
