Folks, 
I fully realize that I'm wasting my breath and time on jkerouac. 

Purely for the benefit of others who may not realize this: any and all 
dyno numbers are relative to the specific engine, specific altitude and 
specific atmospherical conditions (temperature, humidity). Plus, how 
frequently and consistently that dyno is (mis-?)calibrated and that 
particular dyno's margin of error. I maybe forgetting something else as 
well.
So the only dyno outputs worth looking at are back-to-back comparison runs 
with different mods. 
That's it.
Everything else is garbage.

There is a BMW part # for the euro-M3 air snorkel that you may be trying 
to describe. However, it is neither rubber, nor 3" round. 
BMP sells it for $50 
(http://www.bmpd.com/bmw/parts/catalog/engine_33.shtml), but a dealer 
parts department can special order it for under $30.

Yes, it does, though for entirely different reason that you apparently 
don't even begin to comprehend. 
Grow up and learn to deal with it.
