I finally tackled the surprisingly controversial issue of de-snorkeling my Boxster 986. After doing a lot of reading on the topic, I discuss a lot of the pros and cons that people bring up surrounding this. Then I drive the car, remove the snorkel, and drive it again, giving my opinion on the difference. Hope you guys find it helpful! https://youtu.be/nXqg31GdM-E

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.

Thank you!
Never new de-snorkelling was controversial. Your points are good - I would have added that the air filter will prevent cigarette butts (amongst other things) from entering the engine.
well done, great video.
Thanks guys!
