De Snorkel - any downside?

[Mark_T]

I de-snorked several years ago and have never had a problem, and I have both driven and parked the car in some very heavy rains. I love the difference in sound.

Why not try it? You can always put it back later if you want to.

I've heard that it can be fairly hard to remove just because you really have to yank and twist to get it out. This leads me to believe it might be a pain in the ass to get it back in. I am open to trying it if it's easy enough to reinstall after removing it.

I desnorkled over five years ago. I haven't experienced any adverse effects by doing so. But, there is Not much noticeable difference in sound...if any.
