So I took a look at my airbox today and took out the charcoal filter. But I put it back for the mean time because I am paranoid and I don't want to break anything 
I know it doesn't do any harm the engine and I want to take it out but is it really that simple? Just pop out the filter and that's it? Nothing else?
Thank you

Ok just un-installed it
I let the engine warm up a little and then revved it up a little. Doesn't really sound that different but I will have to see if it sounds different when driving.
