the plastic tube that goes into the stock intake box?

i left mine there to give more air to my intake, but if it helps to take out, then okay

I took the restrictor box out ... thats the lower box that the Y-tube leads too.
And i left the Y-tube in.

This way, your still getting in a ton of air, and the Y tube is helping to get cooler air from under the car instead of the engine bay.

did this about a month ago ... quite a difference :-)

i cut the front of the restrictor box below the y pipe so its more of an air scoop now.

If your refering to Artic, I believe the whole bottom of the air box is cut, leaving just enough for it to clamp shut and hold the filter in place

i did that and got horrible gas mileage cuz of my greedy header was emitting too much hot air into that little hole. Now i have a ram air setup and hopefully i'll have better gas mielage.
