DIY: Desnorkel the Boxster

I finally tackled the surprisingly controversial issue of de-snorkeling my Boxster 986. After doing a lot of reading on the topic, I discuss a lot of the pros and cons that people bring up surrounding this. Then I drive the car, remove the snorkel, and drive it again, giving my opinion on the difference. Hope you guys find it helpful!

Never new de-snorkelling was controversial. Your points are good - I would have added that the air filter will prevent cigarette butts (amongst other things) from entering the engine.
