There are limitless possible modifications that could be made to the snorkel. All of which could slightly or drastically alter your MAF scale on all intakes. This also includes the stock one.

My recommendation would be to not modify your snorkel in any way shape or form. Just leave it the way it is. Unless you have a dyno and you are actually tuning the car when you modify the snorkel you are basically just modifying it with magic pixie dust and rainbows as inspiration.

If you haven't logged your MAF before and after to see how it changed as well as fueling accuracy and better yet map pressure / dyno readout then you are modifying it without science behind you to help you out.
