Especially this shorter one looks good.

You're not going to see a big enough difference in temperature to gain any performance. The perception of snorkels making more power comes from the increased induction noise.

My estimate is that max 5% of snorkel fitted cars gets water over the door handles.

Maybe it's just me. But explain to me how you're gonna avoid making the 3" hole required to connect the snorkel to the airfilter box. One way or the other, you need access to the filterbox.

You misunderstand me Tom. I'm talking about when people just want the snorkel to look cool. If you don't require the snorkel to work, you don't need to connect it to the air box and therefore do not need any holes.
