Sorry for this noobish question.... what does de-snorkelling do? If I plan to change my intake filters to K&N Free Flow ones someday, will this de-snorkling still work or would it be useless?

Thanks guys.

For this simple and FREE mod, de-snorkleling allows for a larger opening in the air cleaner assembly for the engine to breath through. The snorkel simply quiets the intake noise and in the process chokes down the air.

You want something that really opens your eyes? Look how restrictive the stock air box assembly is. The air makes four, 90 degree turns before it enters the intake tube.
