06 yaris stock airbox question
Does the yaris stock airbox have a weird mesh fibre built in filter to the airbag? Or has someone jammed an old filter deep into my airbox. Sorry it's a silly question but I'm having a hard time finding an answer. It's inside the upper portion of the airbox closer to the intake than where the filter sits.

It's normal. I'm not sure what I does, but it's there. It is normal

It is a charcoal filter and is part of the emission control system.

Would there be any harm in cutting it out?

There would be no harm. However, there is no gain. Search for charcoal filter and read the numerous threads questioning this particular filter.

Its purpose is to stop vapours from exiting the engine while shut off.
