I used to not run the long snorkel tube, just had it pluged up with a plastic spray paint can top. but recently I put it all back on so as i could run with my airbox lid on when I ride in wet or muddy trails. it it works pretty good actually, still gets plenty of air that way. I have mine run all the way up front where it makes the turn-down under the nose piece. and at one time I thought about making a ram-air intake setup by cutting and attaching the snorkal tube to my scooped racing hood. I bet it would work pretty good for drag racing or something, but probably not good for woods racing or trail riding since it would be easy for it to get clogged up with mud or water.
