Does anyone know if the MPG would increase or decrease with the air intake snorkel removed? I have had it out for some time, but would put it back in if it would increase the mpg some. Currently I get about 20-21 in town driving only.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

I havnt noticed a difference with it on or off. I am sure that the TB is the huge restriction in airflow. if you were to run a larger TB then you might see more of a benefit with it on.
