Ram air snorkle ?

Ran across this while I was watching videos and such after a little spin in my Mini this morning.

https://www.velossatechdesign.com/pr...ntake-snorkels

Now I know this may not be applicable .. when my freinds and I were young running around on Motorcycles in the late 70's early 80's on Suzuki gs's and the like .. we might be seen with velocity stacks or cone filters on our bikes instead of the stock box "which most often worked better"

So what are thoughts on the mini snorkles .. any use, gimmicky junk, Other? It would seem to me "not a car engineer" that it would provide pressurized air whenever you were moving but what value that has .. I dont know

I was thinking of picking some of those up just for the novelty of it. They might add a little bit of better airflow into the turbo, but it won’t be noticeable.
