Musicman27 4 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 How do you remove the stock snorkel? Link to post Share on other sites
Retired old Gearhead 201 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 One bolt on either side. Why would you want to remove the air intake source? Seems to be well enough designed. Link to post Share on other sites
Skids 108 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 one bolt on the front under the hood use 10mm socket, then lift up theres a rubber grommet holding in part on the hood a well will pull right out. the part thats attached to the intake is in pretty snug. i used a flat head screw driver to help pry out. easier if you take the air box out (use a phillips head screwdriver/drill bit and the 10mm socket for the bolts.) while you're at it take out the air resonator tube on the other side of the intake pops right out. youll get a noticeably better performance, but it will be much louder over 2k rpm Link to post Share on other sites
Schaltz 27 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I highly doubt it will change the performance. I have done the same and it is as slow as before. Retired old Gearhead 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Angrybird12 61 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) I think its a placebo effect, it sounds more powerful so you think it is more powerful. I noticed now that the weather is cooler my mileage was starting to decrease, I put the resonator tube back on and it is now back where it was. I don't know why unless the cold air made the computer add more gas to compensate. Now I did see some difference when I put a K&N filter in the stock air box, but it was minimal.

Skids 108 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) i took both off and put a k an n and its drives like a normal car no lag or anything.. yes it will lower you mpgs.. i was getting 36 with both on now im getting 32 with both off (city).. its a small trade for being to drive normally and not worry about being rear ended merging on to the freeway and such.. still 20 mpg better than my truck so im not complaining.. youll get less mpg cause the more air = more fuel to even the mixture... im guessing..

Retired old Gearhead 201 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I highly doubt it will change the performance. I have done the same and it is as slow as before. Correct. Air induction or mods to air intake have zero effect on performance on a small unmodified gas engine. Only improves performance on a heavily modified engine. Sometimes the louder engine has the effect of feeling faster because it sounds more powerful. Link to post Share on other sites
Skids 108 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 i try to keep it under 2k rpm which is when it gets loud..give it shot, its free and reversible. take the snorkel and resonator tube off run 87 octane .. let me know cant hurt.. Link to post Share on other sites
Forgotten7angel 1 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Everyone says that intake mods do nothing, but that's wrong. If your stock intake is restrictive,then when you relieve it all of the resistance that was drawing your engine down can be used for power. Granted it's only like 1-2 HP but let's be accurate now Link to post Share on other sites
