Just unbolt the fender bolt that's on the airbox, move it to the side and pull the silencer out. It won't be anything you can feel but if you do 10 things that make only a bit of difference it adds up in the end. It may sound a bit more throaty afterwards. You may also want to throw in a replacement k$n while you're in there.

Be very careful...........

Just kidding.

Take out the rubber air silencer by loosening the bolt above the filter box. It should come out pretty easy. That's it.

You can't possibly mess anything up by taking this out.

I never noticed any increased noise with the silencer removed.

I only started hearing intake noise after the CAI.

Hmm, I named the car Jezebelle ('cause she's a fast woman ), I guess she can inhale pretty deeply now. . .
