yay # 500 , took the bracket offtoday and gave it all hell but the snorkel just wouldn't pop out, is there any tip how to yank it out?

 

Just pray it out straight to the front, not up or to the side. Very easy job.

 

Wiggle it... just a little bit...

 

Return from the dead!
I've been running without the snorkel and a K&N for a while now.
Last night, I got antsy and I removed the charcoal filter too... yea, I don't have to worry about CARB and I just had my emissions checked, so I'm not concerned.

That thing was more restrictive than I thought, just based on the sound of the intake box at WOT... holy crap.

 

SHHHHHH I won't tell if you don't.....http://www.epa.state.il.us/air/vim/faq/tampering.html


HEHEHEHE ( you already did ooooooooops )

Oh Yeah , CARB stands for CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD , it has a different name in your state be it IL , NV , OR , ect., ect., ect.

 

Where is the charcoal filter located at, in relation to the air-filter and throttle body ? Also, in removing the charcoal filter, does this increase or decrease mpg ?

 

Totally true, however, our emissions is checked by a simple OBDII scan. As long as the engine isn't throwing a code, it passes... again, not worried, removal of the box for an intake falls under the same category. Not to mention that the 05 doesn't have the charcoal to begin with.

I have no idea what if any impact it will have on power or mileage, nor do I really care. I'm really just trying to see how I can minimize restriction with the stock system.
