To the OP: there's a carbon filter in the top half of the air filter box. Removing it may slightly improve performance, but will likely cause issues with warranty and emissions testing. Proceed at your own peril. =)

That said, not having it in place lets you hear the air moving through your airbox much better, but isn't quite as significant of an improvement as installing a CAI or drop-in high-flow filter.
