I've removed the snorkel on my K6. Doesn't really do much though, other than give a better noise.

a ryt have seen that one before i dont think it makes alot of differenc tho as it say thers its only an extra 3/4 mph you get doing it so its not like your gona notice a big differece anyway.

you could give it ago hold your filter in with a screw each corner with a big washer on each.
