It'll show you real dyno results of the mods you have, and how power increased with a modified snorkel (which we also show pictures of). I believe there is also advice in there about further modifying the snorkel opening for a wider opening with heat and a bottle from Robert@Vishnu I believe.

So read that, and then make your decision. But I would NOT remove the snorkel altogether, or waste your time deleting resonators when there is power to be made with a few saw cuts Weather is keeping us form testing the modified snorkel to see if there is any difference in pressure drop/gain over stock, or else that would already be added to this post, lame I know...

Thanks Chase! Sorry, I should have been more clear; wasn't going to remove the snorkel completely, but basically just break out the Dremel to carve it up. I had an idea that was more or less what you ended up with, in terms of modification.

Had no idea to even try the heating/shaping though! That's awesome, but what are people using to safely heat up the plastic? Bake in the oven?
