I have the factory installed one and I have to agree, I cant seem to find where it helps at all.
Tech: Cabin air filter kit install
Disconnect the negative battery cable (I didn't). Pry the plastic caps off the windshield wiper arms and remove the bolts with a 5/8 socket. Take off the wiper arms and set aside.

Remove the winshield cowl by pulling upwards. The plastic pins that hold it in place are tight and I had to use a crow bar to pop them loose (they don't screw out). At each end, there are 2 small plastic pins that attach the cowl to the windshield weatherstripping-remove them too. Set cowl aside.

Remove the 2 bolts on each side of the steel crossmember and carefully remove. You will have to move the bracket that holds the PCM first and separate the wiper motor too.

There is a wire harness snapped into the brace about the middle-unsnap it. Set brace aside. Lift the PCM up and move away from the cabin filter location. Remove the plastic pins holding the cabin filter compartment in place and unsnap the 2 wire harnesses. Inside the cabin filter compartment are 2 bolts (6mm) that need to be removed (Very hard to see in pic).
