So I was wondering about this sound tube thing. Has anyone here deleted it? Is it worth removing and how easy is it to get at?

I find that sometimes when I am on the throttle hard I can get some smells in the cabin which I assume are coming from the engine bay. Is this odor coming into the cabin from this tube and will deleting it eliminate these odors? I never smell this with the windows down.

Will deleting it have any negative effect? Will it pooch my warranty?

Any ideas?
