I do remember some guys posting that deleting the snorkel proved additional air flow? Am I wrong to think that the deleting the snorkel would actually allow more air flow into the air box? Even though the air temps might rise w/o the snorkel, could the additional air flow out weigh the added temperatures? Just a thought. Again, I'm trying to avoid taking the bumper off to re-install the snorkel unless I really really have to.
I dynoed it, as well as did air temp testing.

2-3whp difference, consistent.
