I asked the same question a couple of weeks back as the dealers on ebay and elsewhere only listed the pipercross for upto a 99 XT600 but it also fits my 02/03 xt600e.
I was reading the archives and someone mentioned that the original paper filter allowed more airflow than the foam filters but I am not sure he was right about that according to this review.
Air Filter Review
The foamfilter seems to equal or beat the paper one on all categories.
With regard to the snorkel I am going to remove mine tomorrow and have a look. I think it will need some kind of screen or mesh to stop dust particles entering the airbox though.
