If you have to ask if you can remove something and don't have the first clue what you're trying to remove, you have ZERO business under the hood of your car. Seriously. You don't even know what you're looking at.

The answer:
NO! YOU have no business removing anything from your car.

or you could take the approach of: you don't know what it is but it looks bad so take it out and see what happens! all you poor people and SMOG TESTS! my inspection consists of the lights and tires being checked. occassionally brake pads. last time i got my car inspected, he only checked the lights, one didn't work, and he slapped a sticker on it. i could be dripping fuel, oil, and nuclear sludge out of my tail pipe and i would get a pass sticker for $15. good old VA!

Yeah, come to oklahoma for a few days, snd you'll see some really really crappy cars.
Then next to it there will be like a 8 second pro stock camaro. Hardly street drivable but they like to show off cars like that here just cause they can. Its great!
