Why do you wanna remove it? My truck doesn't have it and I wish it did. Even if it was broken I would be overjoyed since I could just fix it but installing a complete system is way over my head.

im glad my truck doesnt have it- i think it makes the engine compartment look crowded and the whole thing hanging out there is ugly
-but thats just my opinion
