Show me your modified snorkel
 
For those who have modified their stock intake ducts, show me what you have done! Include any changes in performance or anything worth mentioning. I'm looking for a design to use on my own. My goal is to get more intake noise without losing power in low RPMs and increasing bogging. Thanks in advance.

Honestly I never really paid attention to IATs before hand, and haven't noticed any difference on the butt dyno. At the track I did note IATs dropping quickly as I was accelerating down the straights, but not sure how it was with the OEM snorkel setup...

I'm planning on doing something to mine Saturday. Not sure what exactly yet, but I'll be taking pictures before and after. I'll be having the bumper completely off for this.

Making a one off, bigger ram air snorkel. copyed the mounts and it should come out looking kinda like the zeek snorkel design. hopefully better. Its all fiberglass so it looks kinda shitty till i smooth out all the bumps and waves. 80% done ill post pics when completed

So what happened? Did u do it? pics?

So the custom snorkel is complete. it is fugly. needs some cosmetic work and lots of sanding to make it look nice but i didnt make this to look cool, i made it for functionality. So im just waiting for the rest of the fiberglass to dry then im going to install it and go for a drive. i dont think it will add much power (if any) but it should get colder air to the engine. in a week or 2 ill remove it and do the cosmetic work to make it look nice.

No, I haven't gotten to it yet, instead of traditional bumper removal practices, a kind old lady decided to help me out with the side of her SUV. Waiting for repairs to be done first.
