Pretty sure there is something over in the guide section on how to remove it.

Your car doesn't have one. Only on sports.

Ah that's why I couldn't find a guide lol is there anyway of getting that induction sound without an induction kit?

Removing the valve on a sport makes zero increase in sound anyway.

ERM if you want more noise without an ik you could try removing the cold air feed pipes if your air box has them, or drilling some holes in the air box (very much a gypo thing to do but does give noise)

Lol ok I might just buy an ik , whilst on the subject can a ik have a negative affect as a few people have told me the can mess up fuel econamy or make to car run lean, thanks

Put it this way fella, K&N have been around for quite some time, so I'm sure their kits don't make cars run lean or blow them up in some other fantastic way. Like hipwell said, the induction noise is already there it's just stuck in a sound deadening box. Take the box off take all the sound deadening out, drill some holes in the lid, refit, job done. Proper effective at nil cost. Doesn't matter about it not looking great unless you drive around with the bonnet up.
