Yes, come off in about 5 minutes with two small flat bladed screwdrivers. You need to pry out the snapring.

Yep, i've done both. I plucked the silencer ring and replaced the black tube with an AirAid MIT for about $50.

So far in my quest for more turbo sound I've removed the silencer ring and replaced the turbo silencer thingie with a length of 5" exhaust tubing. I think it might have helped a bit but not that noticible. Think an open air filter set-up will add the sound I'm looking for?

I'd bet on it. I drilled my stock airbox with a few 2" holes and the turbo whistle is much louder.

No it is between your air filter and your turbo inlet.
