Should you fit a snorkel sock to your 4×4?

Some swear by them, others reckon they’re restrictive and too easily blocked. So, should you fit a snorkel sock on your 4X4?

We all know the benefits of fitting a snorkel on your 4X4; clean air, improved water fording and so on. And we all know the importance of fitting quality filters on our 4X4s. Snorkel socks aren’t new and there are plenty of people who run them, especially those living in dusty areas or areas with bug problems (think locusts), but just what is a snorkel sock and is it a good idea to fit one on your 4X4? Read on.

What is a snorkel sock?

A snorkel sock is exactly what it says on the tin. A sock that goes over the head of your snorkel (there are some that sit inside the snorkel too), with the intention of catching some of the debris that would typically make its way down your snorkel, and into your airbox. It’ll pick up block out debris like leaves and twigs, all the way down to the bigger dust particles that you’ll get from being too close in convoy on a dusty dirt road. Sounds good so far, right?

What are they worth?

A snorkel sock will cost you around $25 for a decent quality over-the-ram-head job (that’s all we paid for the one used in the images on this article). The internal ones are a touch more, up to $75 depending on the model and brand. So they’re a relatively cheap bit of kit, primarily as they’re marketed as being washable (and thus reusable).

Does it actually catch ‘a lot’ of dust?

Absolutely they do to the point that they work maybe a little too well. Wait? What? Let’s say you’re heading up the Oodnadatta track with a convoy of mates, and you sitting too close and suck up dust into your intake kilometre after kilometre. The sock will catch a hell of a lot of that dust, especially if it’s of the ‘oily’ variety. Depending on how close you’re sitting to the ass-end of the four-wheel drive in front, will vary how quickly your sock will fill up and begin limiting airflow.

Speaking personally, I’ve had one chock up full of dust, stop flowing air, and get torn through my ram-head within 45 minutes of driving. Yep, I was way too close to the 4X4 in front, but lesson learned. Where this becomes a problem is that if you’re a little less enthusiastic about getting to your destination than I am, and say it takes four hours for yours to fill up, how many are you going to need spare, and how many will you need to wash every night at camp? That’s not to mention that if you’re a little over-zealous with how much petrol you use to wash it out, or how quickly you throw it back over the snorkel head and, well, diesels don’t like sucking in petrol fumes.

Insofar as cleaning the snorkel sock is concerned, as per the UniFilter cleaning and oiling instructions, you need to clean the filter with mineral turpentine or Unifilters own cleaner, and then re-oil with Unifilter’s Filter Fix oil, which can be bought separately.

Can you run them permanently?

Nope, a snorkel sock should not be a permanent fixture on your snorkel. The reason for this is that like anything you leave in the sun and weather; it’ll deteriorate. Being a rubberised foam, the UV rays and water will kill it rather quickly. So if you’re set on running one, because it looks shiny (and don’t get me wrong, that’s the main reason why I used to run one), it’ll fall apart quickly, and get sucked down into your air-filter and start blocking it up with bits of foam. They do also increase fuel consumption and put a touch more strain on your turbo and engine due to reducing airflow. And this increases as they begin to fill up with dust.

Do you really need one?

This is the big question. The short answer is, no. And that’s because your factory air-filter will catch everything the sock will (and more), while still having a much greater surface area for the dust it catches to sit in, slowing down how quickly it’ll clog up and thus not reducing any airflow (or, reducing it more slowly). The other answer as to why you don’t really need one is that if you are heading across the Oodnadatta track in convoy, back off enough to get out of the dust. It’s a hell of a lot safer, you’ll see more of the road as you’re driving, and you won’t get nearly as much dust into your intake.

The other side of that, is if you’re making a short trip, and know it’s going to be proper dusty, and you can’t get away without driving in someone’s dust, and you understand all the hassles that the snorkel socks have, then, by all means, use one ( Toyota owners pay attention! ). They’re also magic for stopping big debris getting down your intake. Think bugs, locusts, crickets, and whatnot, but then we’ve heard of some people living out west having to deal with locust simply clamping fly screen over the top of the snorkel to keep out the bugs.

unless you need to cross deep water, then the answers is 100% NO! There is no benefit and adding an oil soaked sock will actually hinder performance. Don’t get suckered into another 4×4 aftermarket gimmick.

Im pretty much on board with Jims comments. However in 30 plus years of using Uni filters on my trailbikes & customers rally cars the product is brilliant, fit for purpose & never had one fall apart. My concern would be the surface area of the intake is not very big & maybe clog quickly in heavy dust. Refer Jim “actually hinder performance”. If it were me id be very happy with one but would love to fit a larger intake top section to help with this. More work but do they make a replacement main filter ? Possibly 2 stage so easy to slip off outer & keep rolling ?. Good enough for the best rally teams, good enough for me.

I use washable unifilters and carry oiled spare foam sheets for quick switchover in the main box. The paper filter and gasket on the factory filter are not up to dealing with bulldust. They let it past. I carry two preoiled socks as well. They can be removed and tapped or scraped to get the bugs off. They extend the life of the washable filter substantially.

Decided they were way too messy for me, even though I like the idea. I actually use an aftermarket vortex filter head I can swap out for the ram head, when needed. Catches an awful lot and it is simple to empty at camp of a night. Keeps the main filter very clean, and did not seem to cause issues with performance or exhaust has temps.

Safari’s unmatched reputation for durable and high-quality products has been built on decades of engineering excellence in the 4x4 industry.

Ultimate Protection

A minimal amount of water ingested into a diesel engine is enough to cause an engine to fail. Safari Snorkels move the air intake to a higher position to give you the ability to navigate off road conditions that involve water and dust in the vehicle’s path. The Safari Air Ram simultaneously removes the maximum volume of water from the incoming air stream with its unique water separating technology, while efficiently flowing the maximum required airflow.

As well as water, dust can be equally as damaging to your 4x4’s engine. By raising the air intake to the roof level of the vehicle, a Safari Snorkel provides cleaner air to your engine that’s free from low lying dust in the vehicle’s path. Safari Snorkels ensure the ultimate protection for your 4x4, no matter the conditions or path you are faced with

The Process

The development process begins with every vehicle being 3D Laser Scanned utilizing Safari’s Romer Absolute 3D scanning arm. This creates an exact digital model of the vehicle with scanning system tollerances within 0.08mm ensuring all Safari Snorkels provide the best fit for your vehicle. Utilizing the latest in 3D modelling software, extensive design and engineering is carried out to ensure optimum airflow and aesthetics are achieved. The next step in the process is to 3D print prototypes of the main components of the Snorkel system for trial fitment and airflow analysis.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
