Question about removing snorkel after installing cat-less exhaust

[Evanlamarr88]

1. if I take the snorkel out, do I risk anything? Will I get in trouble if I ride in the rain? Why was it there in the first place?

2. Now that I have a cat-less exhaust with FAR more scavenging power, it's thrown my combustion off, and I now have LESS overall power. Will removing the snorkel allow for better airflow and a richer mixture if I don't have a tune, or will it just make the engine run even leaner?

1. Removing the snorkel will not cause you any water issues.

2. You need an ECU tune/tuning kit (ejk etc type device)  to resolve your fueling issue. increasing the intake airflow will make it run more lean.
