It will still pull the air from the outside! Look how close the opening is to the vents.
I agree the air temp arguement doesn't really make sense. There is no heat source in that small vent cavity to warm up the air flowing in. How much difference could that snorkel tube really make in air temp? Besides, does the car not work perfectly fine in Florida or SoCal when the outside temps are very high, and in the Mid West and Northeast when the temps are very low? The enigine is computerized and designed to function and compensate at a wide temperature range.

I think that Snorkel has more to do with accelerating or focusing the air flow to the airbox. I'd like to know more about the aerodynamic design of that Snorkel.
