AirFlow Brand (c) Snorkel

The components under the hood can take a lot of water before anything happens and then most likely just blow a fuse. Any problems you get electrical under the hood is a lot cheaper then a new engine.

Learn something new everyday. Now just to waterproof my wiring. Kills me to cut into my XK like that...

I personally stay out of the water and mud as much as I can and still got mud on my filter and sucked a little water in a few times. Anything you can do to get rid of the stock intake is a good thing on the XK. A CAI will help a snorkel will eliminate this unless you drive in a lake. I for now just put a filter right on the inlet that attatches to the throttle body to get me by for the time being. But if you off road you need to do something IMO

I wouldnt worry about water proofing your wiring. I have seen hundreds of 4x4's hydrolock their engines, and had no problems with wiring or anything to that effect. If they would have had a snorkel, they would have been fine. I almost hydrolocked my engine in the XK. No water got anywhere near the fuses or PCM but it found its way in the air box.

Ha I meant like for my lighting and amp I have it hard wired and not to the fuse box (summertime job) to change that

I actually wouldn't mind loosing the ant. for the radio myself.. I hardly ever listen to regular radio since I have satellite radio. Does it cover over the ant. hole or can you see the hole? That would look like crap IMO! BTW OK4wd here in Jersey is now carrying these,around $400+ bucks.. There's a few other mods I need first before this like a little bit more aggressive tire..

I don't have satellite since this is not driven often enough to be worth it in the Commander (Have it in my smart).

It does cover the hole but you can still see it if you look straight down from above and are trying to find it, remember when it was designed they hadn't considered the antenna as they do not have one there on the HK.
