They stated that removing the snorkel resulted in 20% better flow.
Here's the quote. What are your thoughts on this?

You will have to just wait a few more days to see our design on the heatshield. We have taken consideration that the factory snorkel is kind of restrictive and have taken appropriate measures to make sure our intake will have an adequate supply of air for the engine to breath with no restrictions.

Time will tell on this, but the hp/$ factor for in intake that also needs a piggyback ECU to be installed seems like it would be really, really low...
...unless it makes a shit ton of power. I'm really looking forward to the dyno results on this intake.

There will be more clarifications on the piggyback ecu that will be supplied with our intake system as standard part of the intake system. You will NOT need to spend an extra $500-$1000 in any other additional tuning solution.
