Open the hood, look to the left. See the air filter housing - the big bulge at the passenger side fender? Pop it off the fender and remove the rubber boot that goes from the air filter housing into the fender. Enjoy your additional 1-2 free hp

Just like he said. I just did it about 2 weeks ago, takes all of 5 minutes at the most. Better off to do it when the engine is cold. Bottom latch on the air filter housing is close to the engine and you will surely bump into it, not a good feeling when the motor is hot!
