To de-snorkel or not to de-snorkel, that is the question.

Others will tell you it gains no HP and decreases the fuel mileage, but I personally found the throatier sound when you put your foot to the floor is well worth it. Try it and see what you think

I didn't notice any difference at all. The car makes an awesome sound completely stock.

I did it and after a few years put it back to stock. Not that much of a difference.

Agreed. Tried it and the difference re noise is small and the performance benefit is absolutely zero. But it's easy to try, so give it a go if you are interested.

I found my S to be rather quiet with the snorkel, it sounded better with it off.

I think half the argument is psychological, if people say its true it must be happening. I don't mind playing that trick on my mind, it doesn't seem to present any big danger and the sound makes you feel like you're accelerating faster than you really are.

I think a saw somewhere a post about 5hp gain dyno proven. Not sur if it was here or somewhere else. I need to find it back.

I think I will try it myself and see
