might seal off around the pipe going into the cowl... this is where you AC and heat pull air from... even if you dont use either... itll keep mud and stuff from clogging everything up (wheep holes) and rusting out...
Great idea. I will do that soon. I have some thin galavinized sheet steel i will use for it.

Great stuff(expanding foam) will retain water/moisture causing the area around it to rust quicker. I'd recommend a silicone sealer.

I like the creativity may I ask why you wanted to go out the cowl instead of threw the fender and up higher? BUt i think its great looking with the filter and cover on

I have made snorkels before and put them on the side of the vehicle and it always seems to get ripped off by a tree. By doing it this way i hope to keep it on the vehicle. If it gets ripped off i may just route it in to the glove box. But so far its been great

I thought about that also. Being that the ecu is that low right. I may do that because my passengers don't like it in the way.
