Hi,

One Question.... WHY???? You admit that there are no Power Gains to be had and it is invisible (no ready Bragging Rights). Since it's N/A, cleaning up the aerodynamics won't help and it's a lot more work than just pulling the Snorkel...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

MNBoxster does have a point. If an aftermarket intake doesn't do ANYTHING...then why spend the time to build your own and still gain...NOTHING!

DE-snorkel and you should be happy!

Desnorkeling just makes things louder, right?

With surgical care and precision, well not really, I have completed the desnorkeling procedure, currently only on the drivers side to test it out. I have found that it does add to the quality of the sound. I will be desnorkeling the passenger side this weekend.

Thanks for the posts and advice.

AtlantaBoxster, you might be done sooner that you think....I thouhgt there was only one snorkle...on the drivers side.

Can you desnorkel on the passenger side too? I thought it was only one side.

Only the drivers side can be de-snorkeled. The passenger side is the cooling fan for the engine. Nothing to pull out of there. Your done!

De-snorkeling does make things louder...especially at a HIGH RPM! Very quiet while driving normally. Just for fun...try this...while driving next to a car with their windows down, get on the gas and pass them on the right. It'll scare the HELL out of the passenger in the other car!
