I want to remove the black tube going into the airbox, is there a way to do it without cutting it?

 

Yes, but it sure is a pain, its will be easier to see the tabs that are holding it in place with the air box off.

I removed mine so it would fit in a storage box. You will probably destroy the plastic tabs removing them.

If you need some pictures of these tabs let me know and I can pull it out of the box.
