I didn't know we could de-snorkle '03 and '04.

Why, yes - yes we can. Be very careful removing the flimsy-ass inner assemblies, though. They break real easy like.

I did mine but I really can't tell or hear the slightest difference.

Not a huge difference but I think you can hear a little more intake noise.

Agree. Seems to be just a slight bit "throatier" on my 03. No harm in doing it, and you can always reinstall it. Biggest risk is breaking those flimsy clips that hold the outside grill (ask me how I know).

Hi grc, do you have an Indy that you have used and recommend in the area? I am in Northern MA up near the NH border and would be interested in your experience.

I agree with Tomikaze on the New Eng winters 100%. I am itching to get my car out and the cover off, but these 15oF (-10oC) mornings we are still getting makes me less inclined to do so. The snowbanks, bits of tree lying around after the storms, massive potholes and road salt are currently winning the head vs heart battle!

Paul.

Paul, I have used Autobahn Performance in Danvers, MA and am currently servicing with Automotive Engineering of Lexington, MA. If you are a PCA member (and I think its a good idea), you can ask some of your local fellow members. I suspect you would be in North Country Region.
