That all well and good to get the extra air in there but then what??? you still have that restriction where the air goes into the intake piping of the airbox....

Luckily I have done that to my car already and have a nice pic for you guys.
Just need some 75mm stormwater pipe

I have been running this mod with the XR6T/XR8 Snorkal and works greatand looks completely stock from prying eyes.....

Throttle response is great and is a simple cheap mod, fuel economy really hasnt changed much on mine (lpg). Well worth the effort and all our cars here got the same treatment......

Have you got a wider pic, mate?

I can't make out what is going on in there.

I just had that done on my airbox. Will post up pics soon. I briefly borrowed a larger snorkel and combined with this was quite good. I was sceptical about the advantages of such mod, but keeping an open mind DID notice some response increase.
