There is an old racing adage about winners and speed hardware - "Its not what you put in, it's HOW you put it in".
I think it could apply to the alternate air/filter bypass hardware.
I have the horizontal injected snorkel rotating round door type.

And dispite the Vans note that the door cannot be reclosed/reset via the cable. Mine does easily.
Here's the first of 3 pages on the subject.
