    For anybody who cares, my boss bought a 2017 SR5 Tacoma that is supposed to be here by Oct. 4th, but he isn't a modding type guy so boo that.

    Also, idk if it's the snorkel alone or the fact it was 70 degrees driving in this morning, but my truck ran at about 100-200 rpm lower than every other morning coming in...

    Butt dyno results?

    Although, you'll have to factor in, the increase in flat plate drag...... :)

    Butt Dyno was a BMW thing, sorry. Does it "feel" faster?

    As an engineer, you should be able to figure out the flat plate drag increase, added by the snorkel. :)

    As an engineer I know that the small area that the snorkel actually takes up, adds negligible drag. Also, no not necessarily faster, just ran at lower RPMs. I usually see 2-2.1k at 70 mph, this morning I saw 1.9-2k

    Should have followed him home, and stared at him through his window until he joins TW.
