I'm just curious, as when I pulled my stock airbox out to clean a bunch of crap out of the bottom, I kind of laughed when I saw that appendage coming off of it.

The radiused entry on the end helps smooth incoming airflow, and increases velocity. The narrow tube with the radiused end, is better than a narrow hole with a flat end.
Take the test results with a grain of salt because they were not tested through a head/intake/throttle body. Just tested with the stock airbox, and stock intake tube. You're better off leaving the snorkel than you are removing it.
