wow almost sounds like you work at triangle...(note:this was not a paid endorsement)..lol...but anyways building a water proof snorekl isnt exactly the hardest thing in the world to do, anyways did the snorkit come with any provision for actually making the airbox itself truly sealed? i dont believe it does and i'd be willing to say that just like every other foreman lid yours isnt water tight completely..(unless you did something to seal it up)also a motor rebuild and teardown isnt all that to imposing for me, kinda fun actually, alot less parts than the nitrous-fed, fully built v8's i build regularly for customers...and even triangle says they dont garuntee(sp?) anything anyway....so being the semi-intelligent, very mechanically inclined person i am...im sure mine will be just as good if not better for 2 reasons...1. it will completely work just as well as theirs...2.I made it, and for a whole lot less. Thanks for your input though.
