I am just sharing my experience and don't proport to be an expert. Yes, on my car with 74mm and 997 tee, changing the pipe and adding the stock snork made a measurable difference down low. One did not even need a stopwatch to appreciate it. It was that huge.
Your experience may vary. I have also found that the stock tune works really well with the 74mm whereas canned products do not. Again your experience may vary. One thing to note is that I have stock catted manifolds.
Trust me no one likes intake noise more than I so this empirical data was hard to accept. I have even made my own big short snork. You should be able to find it on here somewhere.
If you are tracking and are up at 5K plus most of the time this change may not be what you want

Jaykay, with respect man, I'm not sure how a guy would do that with any measure of repeatability / accuracy.
I'll give ya the credit though, because what you've done with that stopwatch is more than what I'VE done to try to measure throttle response.... which is nothing. ;-)
Your idea of reducing the size of the intake "pipe" is also counter to conventional wisdom. Again: i haven't tried it, but I'm sure having a hard time imagining improvement from this. Velocity is great, but not if you can't get the volume. That's the whole POINT behind the larger tb.
