Thread: Best Fuel Economy!

Speaking of snorkels and better breathing, is there any benefit in putting a spacer under the plenum cover, to lift it and give more clearance to the 2 intake trumpets on each end. ?

Came across a comment from somewhere... naturally, I can't find it now.
Logically, it makes sense, though how much in Real Life is something else again.

- Anyone know if it works, or if there's unwanted side - effects or damage ?

1995 Classic Vogue SE 3.9, with working Air Suspension...

How did this snorkel work? Was it just the usual bit of pipe on the LH windscreen pillar and then a bit of hose straight to the standard air cleaner?
