The air silencer is in the pasenger side fenderwall, opposite the airbox (where the air filter is). It was put on to quiet the air intake (hence the name) but doesn't do much except for restricting the intake. To remove it, you take out the air filter to begin with, as well as the top of the air box, you can just separate it from the MAF and set it aside. Then, using a 10mm wrench (I think), remove the 3 or 4 bolts holding the rest of the airbox on and the air silcencer will fall off into the fender. now you have to wrestle it out of there and you're done.
