H1 hasfunctioning vents. The 2 and 3 have them for looks/cosmetics only.
There are snorkle kits for jeeps, I have not seen one for an H3 yet. The military has snorkles for the Humvee, and I do believe I have seen a snorkle on an H1??

non functional as part of the intake, on both 2 and 3. the intake on the 2 is on the side of the pass fender, the vents under the covers do nothing. i think the intake for the 3 is in the front of the fender, again far from the fake vent. they're for looks only to keep the familial lines similar, that's it.

No, they're PARTIALLY functional on the passenger side only. Pop one off and look, you can see into the fender-well where it draws it's air from. It's not much of a hole but a hole nonetheless. As for a snorkel kit...NOPE, not on the H3, it's not a HUMVEE by any stretch of the imagination.

RE: STUPID QUESTION!!!
Alright yous guys, Shortbus and I are indeed correct. The 3's vents are nonfunctional. Says so in the manual...........find it and I'll give ya a cookie. Yes I know there is a hole from the filter intake box to the inner fender, which is open all the way back to the windshield. Dang near every other GM vehicle has an intake hole into the inner fender, ain't got a fake vent, and doesn't mean because the 3 has a fake vent it thereforeis functional.
Steve #1; you do point out another concern. I don't agree with the reverse suction theory (I suppose anything is possible, but I do not see that as the threat?), but driving in deep water, past the axel vent height, can let water in a differential, and that is not good for gear lubtucation, bearing life etc.

During training they always told us to not get deeper than the bottom of the hood and do not make sudden accelerator movement while in water. (Without the snorkel)

but none of this means that the fake intake vents on the side will take the place of the exhaust, let alone the intake. they're fake, the exhaust comes out one place, the tailpipe, and that's it. easy in, easy out. ok, now i'm done

RE: STUPID QUESTION!!!
OK...So we haveconcluded that the Air Intake Vents are indeed FAKE. So where does the air come from that's inside of the right front fender? Surely the air that's on it's way to the airbox comes from somewhere, where is it drawn in from on the outside?
