BlkBoxster: Ill try to record the intake noise before the mod and after mod...Trust me, if your driving with the snorkel you will tell a HUGE difference from my engine intake noise than your intake noise....Its litterally day/nite.
Hi,

As I said, you can do what you choose. But, if you have nothing else to do as you say, it would be a lot more productive if you were to spend the time cleaning the Radiators. This will have a far greater effect on keeping the car cool. Just a suggestion...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
