who desnorkled
 
My car has remained stock, just wondering how many desnorkle? Perfectlap?

Dlirium 01-21-2014 04:02 PM

yes. 2000S. I liked the resultant sound very much. No discernible performance impact.

litespeedp 01-21-2014 04:06 PM

Yes on my 2000S six speed.

PO did it.

One of the best things I like about my car!

Who resnorked? Me. Flatter power curve with it installed.

batshapedheart 01-21-2014 04:07 PM

Done it. Sound improved. No regrets.

jsceash 01-21-2014 04:11 PM

I believe it was the very first thing I did. Never been sorry.

De-Snorkled and then Re-Snorkled after a year.

Lol, no difference in power that you can actually tell...all for sound. He doesn't have all the performance bits that you have.

Haven't done this mod yet. Don't want to start a brawl when someone flicks a cigarette out the window. Pisses me off right now as it is. Someone tell me it will be okay.

It will be okay. Just shake your head and move on ;)

Desnorked. More noise. No regrets. Whatever.

Touch The Icon 01-21-2014 07:33 PM

Desnorkeled with no withdrawels.

jmatta 01-21-2014 07:54 PM

Evo Hi-Flo with cone filter...the whoosh the induction system makes is intoxicating. Tried the desnorkle and it wasn't loud enough for my taste.

Bfan 01-22-2014 01:06 AM

I did. No regrets

mump 01-22-2014 03:20 AM

Did. No regrets.

I did, and I like the extra sound. Reminds me of when I was a kid and I'd flip the top of the air cleaner on my old Chevy upside down to get a similar effect.

And when we attached a playing card with a clothespin to the wheel on our bikes...that's really what started it all...

Mine was taped to my then ride, an Apollo 5.

To OP. I desnorkled and I like it. Even if I don't, I don't think I can put the snorkel back in...

Car is desnorked. A great mod with no downsides except for more intake noise!
