I've de-snorkeled twice now and replaced back to standard twice...
Its just my butt dyno, but I seem to be missing something in the 3-4000 rpm mid range. Nothing wrong with the sound - it just seems that I'm not getting as much torque with the snorkel removed. So I put it back in!!
Maybe its senile decay setting in....
