Default Snorkel removal

PO had done the airbox mod, but left the snorkel. Reading through all the threads, sounds like the snorkel should be removed. Is this correct? What about the center baffle? Looks like I could snap it off but not sure of that should come out or not.

Did that and now the car is quieter, does that make sense?

I left the dressing trim around the airbox on, figure that provides a minimal barrier from the engine bay.

My understanding is that the snorkel should come off, and the front trim piece, if you have one, should stay.

Thanks!

What about this piece? The fin that is inside the snorkel, should that be removed?

Saw some photos with it removed, others not.

Was tempted to snap it off
