You could also try Mazdatrix for a replacement, but I remember reading that the replacements don't last long.
I did the banjo bolt method a couple summers ago. Its comforting to know that I wont have any fuel leaks. I would much rather replace injectors or a fuel pump than a hood, wiring harness, and other expensive bits.

I paid a mechanic $300 and haven't had to worry about it since. I think the part itself is around $100. Just go to a dealer.
IMO removing a $100 part that lasts 100,000 miles is just silly. Replace it every 100k whether it needs it or not and you won't have to worry. This is a part that's in every fuel injected car for a reason: it dampens fluctuations in fuel delivery. Assuming you don't hurt the fuel system further you can get away with it. But your gas mileage is a little worse and your safety net against detonation is a little thinner. And for what? Saving your engine from fire? No, a replacement does PD that. For $100-$300 a decade, which you'll probably lose in mpg anyway.

Honestly replacing it with either part is better than nothing. Here is some excellent reading material:
