Is it better to just leave the cut snorkle in or is it better to completely seal off the opening? | ||

wha, take the whole snorkel out...if u cant pull it out with your bare hands, get yourself some wd40 and squirt it around the edges where its resting against the frame | ||

Just yank it out... (no pun intended  ) | ||

I took my snorkel out but I cut the top off to seal the bottom airbox to the frame better. I just cut about an inch and a half from the top and slipped the top part back in there. Works fine and you dont get any whistling noises. | ||

whistling noises??? Please explain. | ||

what's the advantage to removing the air snorkel,i've always wondered. please tell me | ||
| Glitch |
what's the advantage to removing the air snorkel More available air. To put it simply, more air = more power. Smooths things out a bit. Also realize that if you do something to one end (air intake) it's best to do something to the other end (exhaust). (Message edited by glitch on December 30, 2004) | ||

we'll i've done something to both ends. I've got the factory race kit,but i just switched the race can with the D@D slip on,ceramic coated the headers,and I have the carbon fiber air box cover with the 2 intake holes in it,just unsure if the new cover will be worth installing. | ||

Try it and see. Test Buell Pilot is a great hobby! Bet that D&D sounds awesome! | ||

If you look at the snorkel's end, it's opening is less than half the size as the hole in the frame. | ||
| Klink |
so would i be better off ripping the the snorkel off, leaving the snorkel on and open up the narrow end, or use the carbon fiber airbox with the the 2 intakes? | ||

I cut off most of it and left the top and just enough to seal against the top of the frame. Then I used a Dremel tool to taper the cut edge until it was fairly sharp like a knife blade. It was an easy job and now I don't get anymore dust in the airbox than before because all the air still comes through the intake scoop. xbolt12 | ||

thanx xbolt12 i'll give it a try and see what happens. I just wonder if it's even more of an advantage using the snorkel modified with the carbon fiber intake airbox cover? | ||

Guess I got a nice project this friday. Think I'm going to do some snorkle removal. | ||

Yank dem dang things outta there! There only in there for the EPA noise regulations. More air is more better. Plus you'll get a nice intake whoosh when you wick it up.  | ||

Does someone have a picture of what they did to their snorkel? I, too, am lost when you guys talk about it. I am interested in taking it out but not sure what to take out. Thanks for any help. | ||
| Glitch |
 This help? | ||
| Deuceman |
Thanks Glitch, This does help. So I should cut the snorkel but leave the stack like it is, or is there any modification to the stack to help? I guess this is the equivalent to cutting open the airbox on my Ducati correct? If so, it will make a huge difference. I'll let you guys know what happens. (Or if i need any more help.) Marc |
