I second that thought...... why would you need a disconnect?


I have a friend that has one and runs it 24/7 on a DD.

Its aimed towards the front, i think your good for dd.  If it was aimed backwards youd need a disconnect so you could get airflow at freeway speeds.  8)

I'm not all knowing snorkel guy or anything, but i've herd that its like breathing thru a straw for your motor. so a quick connect diconect would help ya on everyday level.    :hammerhead:  I was thinking about putting one on, but I would only use it a dozen or so times a year.

I like to Drive!
