K&N snorkel installed

[krisdboard]

Decided to try the K&N snorkel after not being able to find anyone post about it. Every dealer stated it would work with the stock airbox. It does not. Ordered the required K&N intake. Snorkel was scary to install due to the drilling, luckily my holes were good. Intake was another story. The intake pipe appears to be a clamshell 2 piece tube that was plastic welded at the seams. Put a flashlight inside and discovered 10+ holes throught the entire tube. And the solution for vacuum lines are very poorly done. I "rewelded" the seams until my replacement tube comes in. And lastly I really disliked the colored K&N logo on the snorkel hat so I sanded it down and sprayed in flat black. Sound wise it is obnoxiously loud. Been in trailhunters with the snorkel and this is easily twice the volume of turbo noises. Dont regret it as I prefer the more traditional snorkel look over the trailhunters setup and I will experiment with how to lower induction noise. Seen some people use low density foam to absorb some of the sound.
