There's a thread in the Perf Parts and Mods section titled:
D.I.Y. Removing the intake resonator
I know it's kinda hard to miss.

I recently did this, but the majority are unaware that this causes your motor to go bad faster. The intake resonator causes a balance between fuel and air flow, without it there is an unbalance which is why some of the members who did this mod received error codes.
All what I learned today from a bud whos a mechanic. My advice is just to get a full exaust system.
Time to undo what I did Saturday.

The ONLY purpose for the intake resonator is for sound.

^^There is nothing to worry about. Its my understanding that the intake resonator is only used for reducing sound from the engine. Because it is a "luxury sedan".

wow.. you are the most gullible person i've ever met...
you're mechanic is a retard... LOL!!!!!!!!!!
if it really did make an unbalance between the air and fuel mix and really did harm our engines, i don't think like.. 99.9% of us will do this mod or even a CAI...

This thread is now fail. Thanks for tuning in ladies and gents 
And OP whichever resonator you do remove-intake or exhaust. The only thing it will do is make your car louder.

I was able to do it by jacking up the driver front a little, unbolt/unfasten the wheelwell splash shield and peel it back. Then unbolted the two/three bolts and out it came.

The time it took you to take your wheel off i could had the bumper off and had the resonator out. (without having to jack up the car, take the wheel off and pry back the splash shield)
