So, you're basically just cutting off part of the snorkel and only leaving about an inch of it left in the airbox to get more air into the airbox?
What's everyone experience with this airbox mod? Any real difference in sound, horsepower gains, or better take off speed? Any warranty concerns for modifying the snorkel?
Thanks guys for the tips on this one.

thats it in a nutshell, it makes the intake slightly louder, and it seems to have a little more pep on the bottom, of course i did the muffler swap at the same time so i cant be sure, dont think ther could be any way to void warranty unless you didnt clean your airbox out and got plastic shavings in the engine that caused a failure of some sort...
I felt an immediate difference, better response and that wonderful WAAAAAAA sound when you get on it. I did it a couple months after changing the exhaust, so it was definitely an improvement. Then a month later I added an Amsoil dropin and that added more. I left about 1" of snorkel in the box and I'm not concerned at all about it being a warranty issue because it looks like OEM.
