OK, I am confused. On a Syncro, there is a tube and a plastic "catch basin"
before the filter housing that catches dirt and water.  Before that is a
snorkle that reaches up into the rear pillar, and helps give the Syncro its
fording height.

So on a syncro, it goes like this:

                             | | snorkle
                             | |
                             | |
[afm]==[air filter]==[trap]==[ ]

My question is does it eliminate everything aft of the air filter?  (in
other words terminate at the air filter and draw air from the engine
compartment).

Thanks!

Brent
