I can't say I know much about this whole de-snorkling thing... but if I have a '98, should I be worried about debris being sucked in, even if I haven't de-snorkled? At some autocrosses there is quite a bit of dirt/dust that gets kicked up.
Dust & dirt is pretty much expected, snork or not, and the air filter takes car of that. The concern was regarding the extremely rare chance of a lit cigarette butt finding its way in there. There is a screen hack if you really want to cover all the bases.

Exactly! Out of all the threads/post I have read on ANY Porsche forum around the web=world I have seen one case of someone sucking in a cigarette,which then lead to the air filter catching on fire and then a ruined engine. BUT THAT WAS A FREAK ACCIDENT! Porsche updated the driver's side intake grill to ensure that a object such as a cigarette doesn't get sucked in. The only other weird object I have ever heard of someone sucking in their intake was a screw or nail(can't remember which) but that's it,it was sucked in and stopped at the filter.
