It definitely wouldn't make as much of a performance improvement as having a smaller sleeker whooshy tube :)
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Would it help if the inside surfaces of the snorkels/trumpets were pimpled, like shark skin? Breaking down the surface tension of the whooshing, squishified air, so it flows faster? That, I believe, is the effect of the 'pimples' on shark skin, enabling them to swim faster.

I'm sick of all this bollox, but just glad I've got big noisy snorkels.
No seriously, I love the induction noise on the V60s, (even more than the sound of the race cans) and more of it has to be better.
I already have a fast black Falco anyway so don't need the extra performance!
