Third party sealed snorkels for the IG and QM

Just thinking out loud here. Would putting a pre filter such as a cyclone type , on the OEM raised air intake just cause more air to be sucked in through the unsealed parts of the air filter system ? So defeating the object if you don’t have a sealed system.

The theory checks out. The pressure drop would increase ever so slightly between the RAI head and the air filter due to the precleaner acting as a restriction. Some 'dirty' air could get pulled in through the inlet duct gaps. About this much maybe? . .

Most would still pass through the precleaner as the path of least resistance and all of it goes across the airbox panel filter.

That's some lateral thinking right there...
