Snorkle...Performance Loss???

I was wondering about performance loss if I went with a snorkle?
I dont live in an area that has alot of water, but I do have alot of dirt and dust.
Presenlty I have a Rusty's intake and cone, but thought if it would be better to have my intake higher and have actual cold air rather than hot mixing in?
Is there a performance difference?
I was thinking of routing through an OEM Intake Box, but if there is another way to still use the cone, that would be cool too!!
Ideas?
 
I found exactly the opposite. I originally put the snorkle on my 2.5 for dust reasons. I actually picked up 4mph top end due to the ram effect.
 
I havent heard of anyone losing power going to a snorkle, most gain it, because it's more of a true cold/ram air intake.
You wont notice as much of a power gain as the others because you've already upgraded your intake,, but you for sure wont notice any loss.

Yah, if anything I may have gained 1 MPG or so.. no loss of performance though..
 
Haven't noticed any change with my snorkle installed. :kissyou:

I haven't noticed any loss at all. Actually i don't notice much of a gain either, maybe a little at mild temps (50-70*) i have pulled the end cap off to see if there was a difference, and there really wasn't other than the sound, it was alot louder with the cap off.

Here's the rest of the info. P/N and phone numbers.
