Default Stock C6 Air-Box mod

Has anyone cut the (wart) silencer off the stock C6 air-box? What if any is the down side to doing this? I just want it gone cause it's UGLY.
I didn't find a post on doing this, I looked. appreciate some input.

If this is an LS3 you're talking about then yes, it has been done, and has been posted about. Or you could get a Z06 air bridge which is the same thing without the silencer. Plenty of people using that with no issues.

My understanding of the silencer is that it does not negatively affect performance . Some remove them for appearance sake. Intake noise may slightly increase with removal.
