Also, I believe the original Abarth snorkel was part of the engine lid, which was one piece with the rear trunk lid. So the whole affair (snorkel, eng lid, trunk lid) all came off together. Attached by pins and not hinged. Maybe someone can confirm that, but the same concept could be done with the snorkel and engine lid as Kimball said.
Carl, you are right. Somewhere in his Bible, Al Cosentino explained he how to make the snorkel easily removeable by making rails on 3 sides. The snorkel could then be remove sliding it rearward. I was afraid it would make the snorkel a flying object when the car will be in movement, but it seems the friction in the rail was enough to keep it in place. To be safe, I would probably fit a security pin at the back.
These look like a really slick idea without modifying the original design that much.
The X could handle those rather well...

Perhaps duplicate the stock lines but come out to the side (outboard) with the additional scoop panel (a little like Lancia did above). In other words, make it wider not further back. Then bring the air through the pillar at the bottom to the engine bay. Only rough thoughts, need to look at things closer and see what is actually possible.
You must tell us more about this.
I believe Henk sells a similar set up.
