If you look at the rear of the grill (when removed) you will see pieces that obstruct airflow, some refer to them as tabs. Using a dremel tool and something similar is how I removed mine on the last car, but unless you are racing a highly modded SRT, it is not worth it as it offers no visual enhancement and probably little in the way of performance on an NA.

It won't help you at all, not because of the intake setup, but because we are talking about modifying the OEM grille, which you no longer have installed.

No problem, there are pictures around here somewhere and my explanation was rudimentary, but I think you got it
