Has anyone just removed the cup at the end of the snorkel itself? I would think that the venturi effect due to the trumpeted snork end would help with airflow, but that the cup kind of hinders it.

look below for images of how i made the cuts.

Huh? You have to reword that better I think you have a double negative in there.

"Your low end acceleration is a little better than without the snorkel" = Your low end acceleration is better with the snorkel in.

"And not as good as with the snorkel in" = Your low end acceleration is better with the snorkel in.

I can't see how having the snorkel in or out would make any difference until you are moving a speed. So I would think that from zero to sixty you won't notice a difference, but from 50 or 60 MPH the air is flowing better through the wider openning. Right?????

I was thinking the same thing. What is that cup thing for? It looks like it would be good at catching water.
