Another stupid question?
What is that filter or screen that is behind the regular air filter and closer to the intake? Does it also need to be replaced? And how do you get to it? Thanks.

Some emission stuff I believe. From what I have heard on this site, leave it alone. Removal dose not gain you anything.
