Thanks for the replies. I usually do the major fluids on any car if I don't know when. The oil is only 1500 miles old, along with air and oil filters. The brakes, coolant, and transmission fluid I was planning on doing soon. The clutch doesn't slip or chatter so I'll just keep an eye on it for now.

For me this is a 3rd car, always stored in the garage, but driven at least once a week. On my DD I'm a lot more sensitive to noise. The snorkel seems easy and fun since it's simple and reversible.

I'm absolutely not trying to open a can of worms here, but one thing I'm noticing is a huge amount information on IMS items and maybe I'm just buying into the paranoia, but piece of mind is worth a lot to me. If $329 and a couple of hours in my buddy's garage will do that, it's worth it for me.

OC-Boxster, where do you go for service? Haydon Bros?
