Default removing snorkel

i saw one of gernbys vids on the joe z pipe, and the fourth video he removed the snorkel, im not too familiar, wat exaqctly the snorkel is, so if anyone would like to explain its function and wat removing the snorkel would do to the engine /intake/filter ? i like the sound of the engine with the snorkel removed. if there are no adverse side effects anyone care to tell me how to go about doin this????

I think he is refering to the snorkel in the engine bay where it takes in air from the front grill and brings it down to where the air filter is.
