sorry if this seems just stupid to you but when you install a ram air or coldair intake on a 2.5 rs would you remove the rectangular air filter already in the box?

Since you are replacing the factory 'filter in a box' you will want to remove the factory unit.

Where else are you going to put the after-market unit?:wink:
