Hmmm...maybe a "reed valve" could easily be fashioned from a thin piece of plastic glued to the bottom of the hole in the air box (one side glued to act as the hinge). Water (and dust), at least any significant amount, wouldn't be able to enter but water would be able to escape.
Its not like I am ever going to be in water that deep, but it does make me think that a simple hole drilled in the snorkel body would be very easy to access and plug before crossing rivers and the like. I am starting to like my idea a little more.
I don't remember seeing it on the NA spec airbox but this is where one (out of 2) of them is located on the cyclonic air box.
Yeah, that was the only air box one-way valve that I was aware of. If my memory serves me correctly, these collect the dust from the cyclonic action of the non-NA spec'd circular filters. You just open it up every one in a while and purge the dirt, thus saving a lot of wear on your paper air filter.
