Water in the engine? unless you pour a whole bottle in it, it won't hurt much!

If the air filter gets soaked, it might become a restriction. Or if liquid water gets on the MAF it might throw the readings off.

Though, I don't think the snorkel will prevent any water to enter the engine.

As said, you can always put it back

Go for it. It's a bit of a pain to get off. Feels like your going to break it and then it snaps out. I think it's a small, but noticeable difference in intake sound......a good sound to begin with made a little meaner. I'm satisfied with it.
