Anybody have a write up or better advice on how to remove the vent on the later models? I removed the screw and gave it a tug and that sucker isn't wanting to move. I can't feel or see any little tabs that suppossedly hold it on.

Hey Adam,
I, shortly after joining the forum, attempted to desnorkle my 04 SE. I wanted to have that improved sound. Lots of old threads on desnorkling but none on the 04. I do not think desnorkling will improve Hp but I do think it would make a nice sound.
Our 04's do have 3 tabs to hold the vent. It took me a long time to coax the vent loose after I released it from the tabs. Do not force it.... you will break it. When I took the vent off. I was faced with a smooth inner rubber lining that tapered down to a steel mesh with a screw to hold the mesh/lining in place. I tried to remove the mesh without success. I posted my problems and I did not get any responses from 04 owners. A lot of the forum members thought that my snorkle was already removed but I am not sure. I think it is part of the redesign and I cannot even get the mesh off to see if I have a snorkle equivalent. Oh well. Unless someone has experience taking this lining and mesh off.... I am not going to rip it out to see if I have a snorkle.
