x2 on that,would consider twice before removing that piece,especially areas that are prone to storms,have a prefilter on my Airaid which gives the filter pretty good amount of protection cause filter still looks new since day one,the issue is with the large amount of snowfall lately,the prefilter is covered with salt,now imagine removing that piece not only can water enter but then try explaining that to the warranty co if water enters inside your intake,unfortunetly sometimes the designs are made like that for a specific reason. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006B1RFZ0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I cut out the piece that was blocking the stock air inlet.

Better throttle response & feels like it pulls harder.

Running 19 lbs. of boost needs a bit more airflow.
