Guys have been removing air box baffles since 1995....usually the first thing you do on a car the night that you buy it.
Car manufacturers make it that way because the buying public would get worried about "intake noise" when driving so they place the baffle to make it silent.
Probably get 1/10 of 1 horsepower from doing it- it's more for the sound and the need to "rip something from off your car" so you feel like you've done something.
Don't fool yourself into thinking it's that big a deal- it's not- this is where the "butt dyno" comes in-> you hear the noise and then convince yourself you are making like 5-10 extra horsepower when in real life it's nothing.
