Couple things to know:

- The foam is there for locations with a lot of dust, like Arizona

- You can remove it without any issues. (Would be no different if you installed a K&N which doesn't have the foam)

- If you don't replace the foam before it dry rots there is a chance it can mess with your MAF but this isn't usually a problem if you replace on schedule.

Did this answer your question?

Yeah you pretty much covered everything! I guess I'll leave it on because I live on the dustier side of Maui so my car sees a lot of dirt. Much to a point where if I let it go for more than a couple weeks between washes my car will get filthy. But I've been keeping an eye on the filter and it's still pretty clean after about 15,000 miles. I've heard that K&N's free flow filter lets more dirt in so I wouldn't really trust having that in my car..

Everyone has an opinion on K&N. I think it really comes down to each persons preference. Of course it will screw with your MAF if you over oil but I never had a problem with mine when I had my Silverado. There are plenty of good/bad stories for both sides.

Removing the foam filter (foam delete) gives you a louder intake when you go resonator bypass/delete. I'm not gonna touch the K&N, I'll wait for the others to post links to how they filter dust.
