Default remove hood baffles or no?

ok i have the free ram air cut out on my ws6 and i was thinking about removing the rear baffle (closest to the air filter when hood is shut) to let in some more air. is it worth drilling out those pop rivets or should i just leave it alone? i wanna leave the front ones to kinda deflect some of the road crap that gets thrown up. so should i take them out? also woudl taking them out and letting that air flow better affect my air fuel ratio or no. i didnt think it would but i wanna just check. let me know i wanna do it this afternoon if its a good idea

I ripped mine out. both of them. Can't really say I felt a difference. Chaulk it up to the 'every little bit counts' list.

I ripped mine out the first week I got the car. I now have the BG ram air set up. Well worth it IMO.
