Take the front 2 air tubes off of the intake and then pull upwards on the front of it to get the front off the clips. Then pull from the back area and the clips will come off. The last part should be where it connects to the MAF so you might have to wiggle it a little bit on the way out cause its a tight space when taking it out. But its only held on by 4 clips so dont worry about breaking it or something.
