It would seem that the de-snorkle and the stockfilter would keep the airflow smoother and possibly not lose any power?
Was that combo tested, if not what's your theory Fred?

I must remember NOT to post when tired. OK, what I meant was that the greenfilter works great, no issues. When we took a de-snorkled car to the dyno, we saw that the power was off a bit(2-3hp max). Tony made a makeshift snorkle out of PVC and because we got some cooler air, we got the power back. Remember, this is on the dyno, not on the road, so you might not see the same losses on the road, I am just calling it as I see it.
I like the snorkle for 2 reasons: 1. I don't like the car loud when I am driving around(I have FrankenLotus car for that!) and because I think it helps reduce the amount of crap that makes it into the intake/filter. Because the intake is on the side right where the wheels are, it catches alot of junk. That said, your mileage may vary, some restrictions do apply, not valid in all 50 states....
