yes that is the one i am talking about..

I guess if u need to dremel them then it would be ok to remove them all together. Isn't it more of a hassle though?

how about just simply remove them and put the intake on
does this comes with any after effect?
for example vibration while running??

I don't think it'll rub on anything since the opening will be bigger bit it wont have as much support.

What I did was dremel the opening and then used thick 3M double sided tape on the areas the tube made contact with something. No issues or vibrations for me.

i believe people put them on with the intake with reasons.
because i had my done by a local shop and they just simply removed them and installed the intakes and that's why i am asking so many questions
if it is going to be a big issue and affect the car i will have to go back to the shop and complain about it because i did mentioned about cutting them and make sure the fitment then install the intakes..

As long as they don't wiggle around too much I don't see any issues. Also make sure that they covered the AC piping that's on the drivers side so that it wont rub with the piping, it could cause issues down the road.

yes i did mentioned about the AC issue and the mechcanic said he did covered the drivers side
hopefully he did what he said..
i wish i was there while he was doing the installaion.
therefore i won't have to worry about any issues afterwards

thanks for your advice Ron
really helpful.

Glad to help!

I think now that the stock airboxes are removed you can see the AC lines. Pop the hood and get in there with a flashlight, you should be able to see if they were covered or not.
