You could put two welding rods thru the hose to keep filter from sucking thru place rods thru hose from 6oclock to 12oclock and 3 to 9 o'clock looking in it would look like cross hairs in a scope
Honda sxs what type fitting did you use to attach hose to intake box and how did you attach it also what type hose did you use I like your set up .im not going to submerge mine but would like to have a little piece of mind on splashing or crossing creeks hunting and riding.

I used this tube - http://amzn.to/1UA5iLK
With this fitting - http://amzn.to/1UA5yuk
Still thinking about sealing it up and adding some type of filter even if it is just a waterproof screen like the Frogzskin CP talked about.

Here's my snorkel mod. I took a little bit of everyone's ideas.

Here is my version, might have to be modified a little if you have have a mid panel. Copied from my build.
Messed around with installing a snorkel. I like the way it turned out!
2" I.D. shop vac hose
2- 2" street 90
4- hose clamps
1' or so of 2" ABS pipe
4- 1" self tapping screws
2" rubber coupler
I removed the section of pipe under the seat and both couplers. Used the coupler from the front to attach the vac hose to the air box.
Ran the hose foward and looped it back up the drivers side, behind the filler panel and seat back.
Came up right next to the air box. Had to trim the access cover a little.
Then up between the roll cage and seat back. Trimmed the plastic on the top edge of the bed.
From there, up behind the head rest, to the top roll bar.
Add the 2" rubber coupler, street 90, with a couple of hose clamps. then the 2" pipe and the other 90. I used self tappers to hold the pipe and 90s together and still be able to disassemble if needed. Hoses clamp the snorkel to your roll bar. I re used the original prefilter, trimmed and stuffed in the last 90. It should keep water out when washing and the self tappers will keep the filter from being sucked in.
System is leak free and will choke out the engine in seconds when covered.

Looks like from the color of your engine compartment you probably need a snorkel waaaaaay more than I will ever need. I did mine as minimal as I could, for just in case I run into a situation where it would be necessary. I think your design is probably the best way to go for serious wheeling. Rock on!

Almost forgot I ordered some waterproof fabric to build a custom prefilter.
This fabric is Frogzskin mesh. It is "supposed" to keep all water out while allowing it to breath 100%.
I ended up ordering a bunch as I figured I could find a future use for it. I am willing to sale some to save you some $ and recope some on my end.
I attached it to the tube with some zip ties at current. I will look for a cleaner method to attach it in the future.

I've thought about putting frogz skin over the intake, and not even use a extended pipe. Do you think it would work?

Idk.. Thought about that too. Lol.
Not sure how well this stuff works yet. It should keep the water out allowing it to run off. And if just high speed water is the issues that should fix it.

I used frogzkin over the intake to my snorkel scoop, but it's on a pipe about a foot of the hood.

I like Ak_centurion design. One of my biggest concerns about the factory intake is the possibility of water getting into the rubber seal under the seat. For this reason I want a snorkel that attaches directly to the air filter box so I can eliminate the factory ducting under the seat up to the hood.

Can't really tell from picture but it just goes in and points up , dont ever plan on going real deep but now have the option to go to top of the dash , noticed it was dusty up in there so I put a air filter , can't tell of any power loss so far but just took it for spin in yard
