Snorkel needs to be removed per directions. You can choose to keep or remove the sound tube. There are gains if you don't have a tune. If you have a tune, the gains are minimal.

The gains came for removing the Snorkel?

The gains come from leaning out the AF mixture. When you get a tune, it negates most of those gains.

Until you get to higher power levels. The Takeda intake flows considerably better than stock. It gave me a solid 4-5 whp when I got up to 200whp.

That's why I have a Takeda already. Even looking at your dyno charts, even though the gains are minimal, they are across the rpm range.
