This is much better than the air slamming into the side of the airbox!

beside the theory (that sound correct), do you feel any differences between the full desnork to the "midget" snork?

My car is still in hibernation....it's still salty and very cold here

I will try it out and let you know my impressions. I am not expecting any noticeable change other than acoustics

Sooo when you de-snorkel for that wonderful intake sound you get this:




The air is running into the air box wall and then having to flow over a sharp edge. I just could not stand it! So I took the snorkel and massaged it a little. Notice the difference in flow areas before and after:




The short snorkel installed looks like this:




Buttoned up and ready for a night test:




So far so good! The nice intake sound is maintained and perhaps a little nicer, while getting rid of the sharp edged entrance to the air box. Throttle response seems a tad crisper but of course this is biased placebo effect comment. There seems to be less of retort/stumble from the air box when I stab the throttle at idle
