Default To perform the Snorkusectomy or Not...that is the question

Lets hear your pro's and con's of removing the fender intake silencer. I did this mod on my RS and am itching to do it on my WRX if for no other reason than to get some sound out of this baby. It's quiet.
Seriously though, has there been any ill effects? What are your impressions?

Chad

BTW - I DID do a search, but couldn't find much meaningful data. I have 500 miles on the car so no other mods have been done yet!

If you want sound I would suggest a BOV or opening up the exhaust. I tried the snorkel removal to see what it sounded like and found the noise annoying. Try it and see what you think...

I'm not going to swap oout the BOV and cause other miscues just for the sound. I should have clarified....I love the sound of a Scooby sucking down air the way my 2.5 did. I'm not looking for rediculous noises just to attract attention at the motors expense(i.e. BOV). Exhaust is just up the road.

All I'm looking for here is peoples experiences with removing the resonator.

It sounds like a turbo car for a change
