i did the exact thing. I removed everything after the air filter box. It has improved some performance, at least it feels that way. There was a lot of restriction that was removed. For safety..it should be fine as long as you don't remove the factory filter doing it that way. Air is still filtered.

I tried to attach the air sensor but it still hasnt cured, so i'll have to wait until tomorrow to work on it. It should at least be a little bit more solid by noon tomorrow.

I think its going to feel great having a lot less restriction now.
