Title says it all. If anyone has done it can you post pics? Cause I know the resonator is important with the phase 1 engines. I really wanna snorkel my LGT but this d*** maf sensor is being a pain

Ditch the water separator box and just run the snorkel piping inside the fender and connect it to the filter box.

So just take off the resonator and biuld off of the filter box?

Right. Keep the factory stuff from the filter to the throttle body. That's all the MAF cares about.

 

The box inside the fender is a water separator. Its a decent design for filtering out splashes from puddles and stuff, but if you need a snorkel then it becomes a source where water can get in. Just pull that out, and then you have the perfect spot to connect the snorkel pipe to the factory filter box.

Any idea how much it's gonna screw with the maf and cause lost power?

None. Removing the water separator makes no difference. You get a little more intake noise.

Some people think you get more power on the top end, but I just think it makes more noise.

 

 

You're thinking of the J shaped baffle chambers that stick off of the actual intake tube between the MAF and throttle body. Those can make a difference if removed.

 

The water separator is before the filter and makes no difference.
