With regard to Desnorkeling and also Cold Air Intake kits.

Question:
Will it cause any harm to the engine or anything else to remove the snorkel on my engine. Thank you for your time and consideration?

Answer:
No the removal of the air intake for the airbox should not affect the car much either way.
I had made a previous post a year ago in which I said it would. What I was referring to was the removal of the complete airbox in which a so called cold air intake would be installed. These kits do not seal off in the engine compartment properly and will draw in hot engine air rather than the cool exterior air.

986Forum guys who have installed the Cold Air intakes, what is your experience with the cold air intake kits? Do they do as good a job sealing off the engine compartment as the stock airbox?
