davisjj Posted November 25, 2018 A lot of posts talk about removing the airbox snorkel, but I'm not sure exactly what it is. Is this it in the attached photo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cooldudesmd Posted November 25, 2018 Yes. Drill out that rivet in the back. Remove snorkel, store in trash can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davisjj Posted November 25, 2018 Thanks. Just wanted to make sure before I start yanking things out. Doesn't look like what I expected a snorkel to look like . . .? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeRC51 Posted November 25, 2018 It's not a snorkel , it's an inlet restrictor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cooldudesmd Posted November 25, 2018 It's not a snorkel , it's an inlet restrictor. Is that different from a snorkel only in that is doesn’t have a raised wall? Either way OP, get rid of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snorkel implies it's for water , it's not , it's for sound attenuation of the intake. It also restricts intake air so the motor doesn't ping with the stock strangled exhaust. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you've never had your pig that deep in the water, shame on you! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
