Waaay, ditto. My TIICO install was initially done without this snorkel in the left "D" pillar and resulted in really big intake resonance in the cabin under acceleration at 3-4K. It is now completely gone due to this addition. I imagine the wasserboxer would also sound this way without the snorkel on the opposite side, but I don't know.

Without the snorkel the intake noise on mine dominated the engine sound so much that fixing two major exhaust leaks made no noticable difference.
