I've been skeptical of doing this "mod" but, yesterday I decided to take off my side vent and check it out. I had just got home and driven through the rain. Took off my side vent to discover that it was dry inside anyway. Just looking at that "snorkel" doesn't appear it does much of anything. A tube with a bowl on the end of it.

So, I desnorkeled since it's completely reversible anyway. Love the sound and if I were to get an EVO intake, the snorkel wouldn't be present anyway. I think it was put there as a safety precaution for Porsche so, they they didn't have to replace an engine if it were potentially damaged by their design.

Don't spray the garden hose in there when washing it, I don't do that anyway.
