No issues with the stock air intake, or anything else, at those elevations. The bikes work great up there and have plenty of power, precise fueling, and excellent drivability. No need to overthink this.
I like the intake sound, whether air flow is improved or not.
Reminds me of buying a taller air filter for a 4 barrel carb to allow air flow around the circumference, rather than just through the silencing tube...or the open element on the Carter AFB on the 350 in my Datsun pickup.
Also, the air filter can be inspected by only removing the right side cover.
Curious, if you wear ear plugs and/or a helmet (as you should) how the heck do you hear "intake sound" with wind noise and the exhaust? I take it you don't wear either when riding?
Seems like messing with a snorkel on a finely tuned machine just to hear "intake sound" that you may or may not hear properly equipped is a battle not worth fighting?
