Anyone know if this hole possible to enlarge in a safe way?

Though the hole for the airbox is in fact smaller than the intake tube, it has a greater cross-sectional area than the throttle body. The cross-sectional areas are as follows:
Base of the snorkel: 96mm X 75mm ellipse = 5,655 mm^2
68mm throttle body = 3,632 mm^2
74mm throttle body = 4,301 mm^2
Of course, it never hurts to get more flow, even if just to hear more of that lovely intake sound, but it's not a point of restriction.
