No it's not. You are probably thinking about the metal screen that sits right in front of the MAF. DO NOT remove that. It's set up to straighten out the air flow turbulence so the MAF can read the air flow correctly.

The air silencer is a rubber piece that attaches to the air filter box and goes into the fender well so the air filter gets the cooler fender well air. It's very easy to remove. Just pull it off of the air filter box. Don't waste your money on a CAI unless it's one that puts the air filter out into the fender well. That would be more beneficial than one that has the open element in the engine compartment.
