what is this and what is its prupose? it it an intake muffler? what would it hurt to remove it?

that's either a baffle or a resonator. Removing it will not help anything, but it will change the sound of the intake.

probably not if there's not sensors or anything in there. i was kind of wondering what that was myself, since the air filter is way back there.

Its just simply there to make things more quiet... removing it will not do anything

I took mine off probably 6 months ago(roughly 15k miles) and just forgot to put it back on. Ive never had a problem.

Took it off my car installing an aem intake system. From all I can see, it is just plastic.
