Were kinda splittin hairs here...while I would agree that removing the baffle and "L" helps to improve airflow, I can't prove that it does. I just like the sound enough to be very happy with the "gutted" box.
I'd say try it just as is for a while and then you can allways go back and make the cut if you like

well I used a dremel with a cutting bit and it made a hella mess! Worked fine though. I have read how others have simply scored the plastic with a utility knife and snaped it out.
I like a "OEM" look so I allways go back and sand the cuts with fine sandpaper so you can't tell it wasn't supposed to be that way. Same goes for the airguide only easier. I made a number of cuts so a tight fit could be had, then saned/polished the edges.

I Dremeled out my airbox for the idi cf snorkle on Sunday.
Oddly enough - my exhaust seems louder now.
It sounds great! 
Butt dyno sez 5hp easy. j/k my azz isn't calibrated that well...
For those of you with a Dremel - I'd roll on down to Costco and pick up the rotary tool accessory pack. 182 pieces - from sanding to polishing to engraving to cutting etc... for something like $15.00 - $20.
