That "box" usually helps by trapping debris eg dust / sand from going into the engine.. if you don't want those safety margins.. then you don't need to have it.

it also acts a 'silencer' for your intake system. without that box, your intake will be louder (which could be good or bad depending if you like the sound/noise).

Take it out, and get a K&N filter, as long as you clean the filter on a regular basis theres no need to wory about dust entering the engine. Or why not get an SRI?

There are pros and cons.. just imagine the water end up in your engine. Quote:
