I have one on my car as you can see in the cig,

No diffenrece from the way it drives. Although Dyno numbers may prove otherwise,

I put it on becasue ti was a cheap fix and if it does make a difference well its there.

Its the same as a stock snorkle just a wider intake. Probable 50% wider.

Yes it's less restrictive over the standard intake but to see any real gains you'd need to get the car breathing out as well as it's breathing in. It's the same as the ticky snorkle just without the wings.
