Question To chop or not to chop?

Ok, for those of us who gleefully cut off our Helmholtz resonators (learn something new every day)...

What do the more learned among you think about this information?

Helmholtz resonators Caution: MUCH geek-speak here!
Although this dumb firefighter was able to get the gist of it.
  • They dampen resonance... Duh.
  • They make the intake air act "springy" so it fills the combustion chamber more effectively giving us better combustion.

Hmmm, not so sure whipping out that SawZall was such a great idea after all...

Do we need to try to get someone to flow bench or dyno the with and without resonators versions to see if there's a real difference? Seems to me that would be the only answer. Dyno both versions on the same truck and see what the results are.
