To Snorkus or not to Snorkus?
I'm assuming most of you out there have completed or at the very least considered this mod. I've found some pretty good faqs/dyi's on forums but figured I'd ask the ALL KNOWING ONES here at DCAWD their takes. I'm cool with keeping the factory airbox (already have a K&N drop in) instead of a short intake if I get pretty much the same result.
I guess I just cant keep my hands to myself (as far as the car is concerned)

Ya, it's a 15 minute job and worth doing If you get the chance... come to the dyno day and we can do it right there on the spot I'll just be standing around watching the cars anyway.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

If you are refereing to a cold air intake snorkel, here is a DYI I made a little while back. Obviously, we drive two differnt cars but I think that ever turbo car should have one! I have seen temperatures at te MAS drop 40 deg on days where it's 90 deg outside!

a 3" PVC elbow will fit right in the WRX factory air box if you remove the rubber seal at the bottom. it's easier to show than to explain but I don't have any pictures. I recommend black PVC to make it look all nice and factory but white PVC is hard to notice if you can't find black. I painted my white pipe to help hide it.

stop by the dyno day this Saturday and we'll rip that bad boy out. I didn't buy a "remover" and I'm a bit of a perfectionist about how I modify my car. ask Zack.GeneralGrievous wrote:Many thanks....my tab of owed beers grows daily..
Will hopefully get it done before Saturday but who knows....
What do you think about the "snorkus remover" option at Mach V? I guess it just connects the airbox directly to the ram air intake once the silencer is removed...

Well the deed is done.... Grievous 1- Snorkus 0...
Not at all as bad as I thought it would be, took me like 20 minutes. Will still try to make Saturday just to gawk and such....
