I’m guessing I’d get slightly warmer air. I’d make a mesh to stop any large crap getting in
 
Can't see why not.
However, I also can't see why you'd want to do it?

I’m going to get rid of the snorkel because it’s rusted to **** and I have no real need for it. Because of my roll cage the original elbow doesn’t attach to the wing and I had to make a bodge with a bit of flexi hose which I’m keen to get rid of.

Was that an external elbow for the snorkel? Can you not fit a flat connector to the inner wing, avoiding the roll cage, so you can get to outside again?

It wont do any harm at all, in fact you might notice an increase in power as the pipe from wing to air filter housing is to bloody small, so when I fitted my snorkle and noticed it was lacking a little on long hills I popped that same pipe off and the power (what little there was) came back again.

I would not worry about any mesh, try it and see how you get on.

I've made it even worse but using a narrower diameter flex hose. Think I'll sack the lot off. Thanks
