Default TB Flange Removal

Anyone ever removed the flange at the throtle body opening? Some say it helps, but no major gains of course..

It's the little golden piece that opens when throttle is applied allowing air to enter the throttle body. Removing this is supposed to free up space allowing more airflow through I'm assuming..
