I've been lurking this forum for a while now, and this is my first question: What happens when you submerge your tailpipe in water.
I recently had mine completely under (reversed into water for a tight turnaround, see pic) and got really nervous from the bubbling sound. How far up will the water run? Can it damage my exhaust system from the inside?
Does the answer change depending on the depth/pressure of the water?
I notice snorkels on the air intake of certain jeeps... does a deep water system also need an exhaust snorkel. In fact, is there anything other other than the exhaust that might be a vulnerability point in water? Do the gas outlets for tranny etc... need to be snorkeled? Do they water-seal the electricity?
Thanks in advance for the help
