De Snorkeled! Does it negatively effect HP or torque?

[mts]

I don't have any dyno evidence but something that was interesting to me none the less. I have a 2004 special edition which had slightly more power than the standard 2004 Boxster S from the factory. My understanding is the extra horsepower was basically achieved by an intake change and an ECU re-flash from the factory.

I compared my intake to one from a friends older Boxster S and indeed mine was pretty drastically different. However, one other thing that was interesting was my snorkle was massively larger than his was. I've not been able to compare a "standard" 2004 Boxster S to mine yet, but if it's the same situation it might lead one to believe a de-snorkle could have some slight added hp benefit.

Anyone got a picture of a snorkle off a standard 2004 Boxster S? I'll take a picture of mine and post it.
