Open hood
Take out filter and filter frame
Reach down in front of the front cover and pull/push it towards the rear of the car and it will pop off the two studs its mounted on.
Lift the front cover out
Undo the MAF connector
Undo the bellows at the throttle body and lift the remaining filter housing out.
When you get there it really is pretty easy.

You got good advice above! I had the same non-problem as a newbie! Once you get everything loose,,,,,,,Watch your knuckels and yank towards the rear of the car and up! It will pop off the grommets you can't see until it is out!
This Forum is great, huh?

It was suggested that I follow the Blackwing installation with the "Idle Re-Learn" process (which I did).
Here is a cut and paste of the procedure:
C5 Idle Relearn Procedure
Purpose
This is a step by step how to do an Idle Relearn. You would want to do this if you have done any intake modifications OR, If your battery was disconnected prior to this occurrence. If you do not do this, you may have hesitation or other issues.
Tools Required
None.
Follow these procedures EXACTLY or you will have to start from scratch.
Insert key into ignition and turn to the "On" position but, DO NOT START THE ENGINE.
Pop open the engine fuse block box cover and remove the two 10amp fuses from position numbers 16 & 23.
Your DIC will now display "check" messages for ABS, etc...
Turn ignition to the "Off" position.
Re-insert both 10amp fuses for positions 16 & 23.
Start your engine
Allow engine coolant temperature to reach a minimum of 176 degrees F and run at this minimum temperature for at least 5 minutes.
Shut down engine
Let rest for a minimum of 30 seconds.
Restart engine - check for DIC error codes (there should be none).
Drive car for a minimum of 30 miles at varying rpm settings and speeds. PCM will now re-learn and adjust for the new air flow and air temperature at the intake.
