They say that you shouldn't leave it off, but I don't know anyone that left it on. Theoretically its an extra safety precaution assuming your filter gets punctured. But no one uses it. Its all about getting as little drag as possible.

Me too. I removed mine about 5 monthes ago, and nothing. I think that is just there to block things from getting inside, but they first have to make if throw your air filter. In other words, you'll be good go. Enjoy!

No it's not. It's there to help smooth and align the air flow into the MAF. Without it you may ...MAY... experience rough idle and other poor running characteristics.
