De Snorkel - any downside?

So I have read the many de snorkeling threads on here, and I am still undecided on whether to do mine. Many forum members advocate a 3-5hp gain, and many more advocate a loss of torque on the low end. I don't really care about this, I would just be doing it for the sound. What I have not been able to figure out, is if there is any real downside to the desnorkel as far as the health of the car goes. I've heard about the cigarette butt horror stories, but if I put a mesh screen over it after removing the snorkel, are there any other possible downsides?
