And here is a plug someone did to remove it:


Basically a stethoscope so you can hear the pretty intake noise, which is where the noise comes from that Italians have been using to give pedestrians orgasms for decades.

Edit: I haven't removed mine yet because I'm a bit worried that it contains volume that the intake relies on so it is tuned properly which would result in a loss of efficiency if I simply pulled it off. It would undoubtedly be unnoticeable from the butt dyno but I've also been lazy. I think plugging it is the best solution at the moment for me.

It doesn't affect performance at all but it sounds cool. That is a small portion of the sound you are hearing tho because our engine makes its own growls noise. Someone feel free to correct me hear but I think it's a fairly accurate explanation.
