Default Removed Intake Snorkel

For those of you who don't know what it is, that little restrictive pipe that connects to your airbox . Anyways took me about 30 mins from start to putting everything back together (first time I ever took out a headlight). And the results are: over 4k the roar and sucking sound of the intake is EXTREMELY noticeable from stock, almost sounds like an aftermarket. I noticed it pulls a little more from 4000-6300 (noticeable), and now it seems to not run out of steam as much and keeps on pulling into the upper RPM! I recommend this mod to anyone with tools and 30 mins on their hands This was done on 96' SC300 Manual.

Also the lid that you pop open to remove/change airfilters, I popped that open today and left it like that. The car over 3k RPM has a very loud distinctive intake sound coming from the engine bay and also a noticeable amount of power above 3k too! So if you remove the snorkel, make sure you leave the lid/cover open, it gets alot more airflow!
