Has anyone ever looked at the Snorkel as a velocity stack rather than a sliencer?

Porsche would not put it on there without a reason, If it were US regulations on pollution or sound, you would not see them on Euro cars.

My guess... they noticed that the airbox was restrictive and to make up for that, they put on a velocity stack.

Easy cheap reliable fix.

Take it off and it is louder, but not more power. Acutally less. It has been shown with dyno that removing the tube lowers low end torque BUT help with high end HP.

I am not one to talk, I have taken it off, removed the air box, and made a custom intake with a velocity stack and I am now happy. However, at the end of the day, I wish I would have stayed with the stock setup. Cheap and easy to care for.
