Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I took a 2 hour drive and it ran perfectly with no codes or drivability issues.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

There are these extended elbows that act like silencers on the intake. Remove and place rubber freeze plugs in them. See if you like the added intake roar. It can be irritating at times and this mod is easily reversable
Don't think mine's been removed, but the sound is already fabulous.
Sure acceleration from low speed but even a highway pass not downshifting.
Very civilized and high class. Don't need raucous.
I hope you are talking just about the snorkel because if you removed the silencer and did not cover the hole then you would have a massive air leak bypassing the mass air flow sensor and not covering the hole.
I only removed the snorkel as described many times in this forum and the sound is intoxicating . I took a 2 hour drive and it ran perfectly with no codes or drivability issues. I am not aware of any need to block the hole, it is the same hole that the snorkle plugs into .
Then you are not removing the items I am speaking of. I am not saying it's better. Its just easier to reverse. The elbows are silencers too, they reduce resonance. Remove the resonaters and now you hear all of it.
The de snorkel mod has been done by countless people on this forum. Whereas it may not be for everyone, I think that the majority find the added intake "music" rather pleasant......and you really only notice that added sound when you are standing on the gas pedal. Less "spirited" driving and you'll likely not notice a difference. It certainly does not sound like a shop vac on my '01 S......if it did, I would have put mine back in.
No, it doesn't.
Not even remotely close to anything like that.
Are you sure you removed the correct part? Based on your description, you absolutely did not.
