I can attest to this for fact. The snorkel was left off mine on initial I4
install and there was terrible cabin noise in the 3K-4K range. It was put in
and I have none of that noise inside now. When I am going up hill, with the
drivers window down, I can hear that same kind of noise outside the van.
What a relief. The PO actually got rid of this van because of this
noise...his family couldn't stand it.
