Whoa!!! Just desnorkled!!!

It hasn't seen anything but sunshine and the inside of the garage since I've owned it. Plan on keeping it that way to lol Although, those that say there is no hp increase from this mod...I gotta disagree. It felt more responsive immediately outta the garage and seemed quicker when I opened it up to. I'm so happy I have done this mod to my car!

Exactly how careful do you have to be with the hose? I only hand wash my car, but if the spray accidently shoots in the intake for a second (quite possible), is that going to be disaster? I'm 50/50 on this mod and would only be doing it for the sound (not really convinced on any real HP gain).

From what I've read, it seems more convincing that removing the snorkle is no more dangerous or susceptible to water than having it in there. There is an arguement that it is possible to get water up in the intake, but its pretty much invalid in my opinion. Sound difference is amazing especially at higher rpm. Do it...you'll love it!!!

another worry which is rare, if a lighted cigarette would go in the intake catching the engine on fire

That could(but is extremely unlikely) happen w/ the snorkel on as well.

Well I dont smoke so I dont worry about the cigarette issue...but I am careful when washing not to spray water directly up there. I do drive the car in the rain and have had no issues so far. Just swapped air filters the other day, actually, and coulndt notice any sign of water ever hitting the filter.
