I recently put in a K&N air filter and saw the snap in charcol filter above it in the air box. Is this really important? will it throw a code if i remove it? Does removing it help out the performance at all?
Thanks for your responses.

Thanks for your responses. Don't know that it helps any,but it can't hurt to remove. No it doesn't throw a code.

Took mine off when I switched to K&N Filter.
What are you guys doing for replacement tires? My rears are screaming loud and past the treadwear indicators.
