I do have a question. Am I best off to do the mod described earlier in this thread and open up the snorklw with a 3" pipe and then put it back on the car or just leave it off. I'd appreciate your comments.

Thanks

Welcome to where I live...(same thoughts).

I want to add for anyone taking off their side vent. Look for two small catches that actually hold the backside of the vent to the outside scoup. If you gently pry them with a flatblade as you work them to an appropriate angle, you won't scratch your paint or wrestle with the vent, everything comes apart nicely with patience and a gentle hand.


As for the snorkel, for now I'm running it sans cup #1 part. I'm wondering the same as you Aussie but in the meantime I have made no non reversable mods and I've improved the flow and sound.
