He should have sealed the elbow in the wing/engine bay and the other bits to make it a snorkle and not a colander  FFRR Owner, very nearly became a D3 owner

Following the original post, a couple of oddities.
When making the long reverse there is initally no bubbling up from the right hand exaust pipe as it goes under water. Why?
Also, is there not a one-way drain valve in the air filter box that gets the excess water out? A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

not AFAIK, the elbox into the airbox is holey and thus the filter would soak, and the air entering the inlet would be heavy with water and thus cause the engine to run like a dog.. FFRR Owner, very nearly became a D3 owner

There was a replacement elbow with my RAI kit, so (if sealed) no water in that way.
I found a hole in the bottom of the filter box that had a rubber valve in it. I expect this is the release for pressure if there is a back-fire so that the box does not burst. If it does not drain water, then sticking a pen down it would be enough to open it and drain the box. A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill.

My theory would be that air will take the path of least resistance, right hand exhaust pipe is deepest under water, therefore the air has more pressure to overcome, or it could just be running along the inside of the bumper??
