The intake silencer/snorkle? Take out the airbox like you're changing the air filter (bolt on side wall, pull the box straight up), then just yank it out, it's just held in there by its shape.

It still draws fenderwell air with the silencer removed. Where my airbox is, is about 2 inches from the fenderwell. The air people are concerned about drawing in to the filter (commonly referred to as "hot air") is the air coming off the radiator and fan, and the air down by and radiating from the exhaust manifolds. Forward movement of the vehicle draws most of that air back down the bottom of the engine compartment, and the intake still is sucking whatever air comes from the passenger side near the fenderwell (which is the air pouring in from the fenderwell itself.)
Either way, removing the silencer isn't worth enough to feel SOTP wise, but probably would be worth something if you had the power adders to require that much air volume to be sucked in at a time.

Is it worth anything?!?!?! Well, it will amplify the "sucking" sound that you hear through the intake track, which will make you think it's doing something, but in reality, I doubt you'll see more than a single horsepower if any from doing it. The SN95 airboxes are much less restrictive than the old Fox units were.
