hey guys i was looking at the air intake of my mk1 skoda. i think its called the snorkel? the one that goes to the fron bar under the hood.. if you know what i mean.. i took the tube of and the scoop bit out of the box, my question is why is it flat? im pretty decent at cad, so was thinking about unbolting the intake box part for the snorkel and re designing it so it would have direct feed, i.e it wont hit a walll then have to travel up then into the airbox, would it make any diffrence, intake sound or peformance? ill still be using the stock air intake tube etc

I seem to recall the reason for this was to prevent heavy rain or road spray going straight along the pipe and wetting the air filter. I suppose you could make it a smooth run but be mindful of the water situation.

Is it vRS? A common mod was a larger pipe from the Cupra. Did help with better economy (I ran original and larger pipe)
