Okay, so was under the house and happened to find a 2nd snorkel that was from my old tn efi.
after thought and looking at my engine bay in the sedan, I thought why not try this.

Notice the 2 split it has, so yes that large bulb at the bottom.... kinda does something.... what I still don't know, and as constrictive as this intake is, I doubt I've made a change except perhaps lighten the cars load by maybe 50g
Anyway, pic of the now snorkel and missing floor cap....

Plan to perhaps get some of that large flexible hose plastic and hide it down the inside leading into the snorkel so it might suck in abit more free flowing air instead of mostly engine bay heat and abit of air that made it past the headlight. :nuts:
