The one under the inlet is something to do with the iabs in the inlet. Were you planning on using them or not ?

You dont have to use it and you dont have to use a skunk2. But the skunk2 will get rid of all the extra bits in the inlet which will no longer be in use.

Ill be getting a skunk2 to neaten up the bay and get the most out if the engine. What is the result if I remove it? Any cons?

Not 100% sure on this but I think I read somewhere the Skunk2 is the same as the ATR mani, except it's (for want of a better description) already modded for the Prelude?
