Default silencer ring?

I have heard of people taking a "silencer ring" out of the turbo for more noise. I was wondering if this is possible, and if so how do you do it?

take air inlet off turbo, then use a small screw driver to pry up one ear on snap ring while working a curved pick or another screw driver behind snap ring once it strats to come out it will come pretty easy the hard part is getting it started. dont get in a hurry turbos are expensive.. After snap ring is out the tin plate will almost fall out

Would a small screwdriver work better or a regular size screwdriver? Just wondering thanks ahead of time?

I've heard removing the ring is good for 5 HP.
