Just removed the silencer ring
Pulling out the snap ring is INSANE. I gave up with the snap ring after 30 min and I started concentrating on the silencer ring itself. I took a BIG FLAT screwdriver and I worked around the silencer ring and started bending it towards me. I then took a pair of pliers and I pulled hard untill SUCCESS it started coming out from the snap ring and right off with the snap ring still in place. I dont see any harm with the snap ring in place b/c thats just impossible for me to take out.
Ill post some vid clips later:

wow... um.. it only took me maybe 5 min with two screw drivers big and small to pry one part of the ring up and then slowly move your way around and presto! better luck next time i guess...
if you decide to take the baffles out of the intake tube post some pics i would like to see the outcome ( it's more time consuming then the snap ring)

if you take off the intake tube ( tube going from turbo to air filter ) look in it! you see black plastic with tiny little holes in it! (bad) nothing in there clear tube ( good ) chisel and hammer work wonderfully! HAVE FUN ! but POST PICS WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT!
