my opiion? remove it just like they did.

I REALLY hope you are joking. REALLY hope. DO NOT listen to this erroneous advice.

To get rid of the noise you need ot run the stock elbow off the throttle body to the MAF, then you need to hook a bracket up to hold it in place . The MAF is a critical part in making the engine run correctly as it measures the amount of air flowing into the cylinder so the ECU can determine how much fuel to add to make the combustion cycle complete and correct. DO NOT listen to this erroneous advice.

2001-2003 Elantra's used a MAP based ECU and did not have a MAF in the intake. 2004-up do. This is why you see some pics with, and some without. The rest of the engine bay looks identical to the common observer. The educated will see small differences like the CVVT solenoid on the head, the different style exhaust manifold and the obvious MAF sensor.

Wow... I am just amazed. All the stickies, the information available on this site free for the taking and we get advice to just "take off" a critical engine piece.
