Automotive Snorkel Incorporating an Air Filtration System

An automotive snorkel for a vehicle having an engine bay in which an engine incorporating an air intake system is located, the automotive snorkel comprising:

• a hollow housing having an upper opening and at least one lower outlet proximate the engine bay;
• a mounting box configured to be received in the upper opening, the mounting box including a plurality of filter mounts and a filtration outlet to an external environment;
• and
• a plurality of removable filters each having a corresponding air inlet, each removable filter configured to be securely retained by a filter mount,
• wherein, in use and when installed on the vehicle, air only enters the automotive snorkel by way of the upper opening where the air is directed towards the air inlets to filter particles entrained in the air using centrifugal force,
• wherein the filtered particles are thereafter expelled to the mounting box before being directed to the external environment by way of the filtration outlet, and
• wherein the filtered air is directed through the filter mounts and the hollow housing to the at least one lower outlet for subsequent delivery to the engine.
