I realize it may reduce the intake size.
I realize the air entrance isn't smooth or velocity stack shaped.
Does colder air make up for the slight reduction this little mod may offer?
Airaid made a mistake not extending the intake like the AFE, just my opinion.
I'm going to get some fiberglass and mold a scoop for this Airaid that extends into the "colder area" |
Tony, if you look at my roto mold shoot out thread, I address this exact scenario with dynos. I cut my snorkel just like this one.
If it's too early and you don't feel like reading, the cliff notes is I saw an immediate gain in HP when I removed the snorkel, from restriction alone. Wasn't a huge gain... maybe 2-3 whp.
