To de-snorkel or not to de-snorkel, that is the question.

congrat on your new Porsche and welcome a board. I did mine not long ago and I have to say, it does give you a slight noticeable throttle response and better sound (or it's in my head as I have several family members who couldn't tell the difference). I say go for it as it's free to try and if you don't like it, you could always put it back. I can honestly say that if you live on a dusty road, the snorkle may help as it's "cup shape" tip which is right side up may helps to avoid dust and water from being sucked in.

has been tested as being quite adequate for a much larger engine than your 2.5. So you won't get a lot of added power out of the de-snorkle, just added intake noise.

I say go for it, live on the wild side. Remove that one screw, pull the grill, grab the snorkel like Representative Anthony Wiener grabs himself and yank it off!!

Yeehaw, now lets go for a ride!

Others will tell you it gains no HP and decreases the fuel mileage, but I personally found the throatier sound when you put your foot to the floor is well worth it. Try it and see what you think

I didn't notice any difference at all. The car makes an awesome sound completely stock.

I did it and after a few years put it back to stock. Not that much of a difference.

Agreed. Tried it and the difference re noise is small and the performance benefit is absolutely zero. But it's easy to try, so give it a go if you are interested.
