Modding Opinions

Just curious, and in no way is this a way of starting a "my mod is better than yours rant". What are you guys' opinions of the stock air box modding. Have seen two different waysof doing it. #1 Remove "snorkel" completely. and #2 Remove "raincap" and "diaper" and replace the snorkel. Please let me know which option you used, or if you have tried both ways, which worked better. Also, if you changed out to another air filter, did this help. Going to turbo this baby before to long, so avoid the "go with a sri or cai" rant please. Thanks, btw, new to the forums but have been reading ALOT on here and I have to give alot of respect to most of the posters and all of the Admins. (not kissing ass, complete honesty).

i believe that they are removing the entire snorkel, through a k&n filter in there, and you should be set. Welcome to the Forums
