you could dremel it, but it runs right next to the air box base and you run the risk of slipping and cutting a hole in your air box.

if you bend the plastic around the clips, the clips will fit under the plastic and the "snorkel" will pull out.

before you put the cut tube back in, just bend the plastic that was around the clips back down and the clips will lock back in, securing the cut "snorkel" back into the air box base.
