Its just that easy. heck when I was a kid it was nothing to remove the air filter from my ole man's car and drive it all over the place on the weekends, may not had done anything for the HP, but the sound the engine puts out during full throttle would knock your socks off.
Point I'm trying to make is try the car without the air filters, and if you see improvements... then buy the K&N filters. hooah

Ok, I'm gonna say this because no one else has. Running without any air filters in is THE WORST idea EVER. Sorry, no offense. The purpose of the air filter is to trap all of the particles and dust and dirt that comes in thru the intake. You remove the air filter, all those little fine grain particles and dirt are now going straight down your intake, right into your manifold, then BAM! into your engine. Just a terrible idea IMO. Also in a lot of (good) auto mechanics' opinions.
The only safe place to do this, I would think, would be at NASA, in their dirt free enviroment.
BTW, those who are using the K&N filters that claim to increase horsepower, they do, marginally, but at a cost. The way they do this is by making the space, the gap, holes, whatever you want to call them, in the air filter bigger. Thus, more dirt and grime and dust is getting thru. Just food for thought. Don't believe me, go look up the TSBs dealers have on these things.
If you have one, swap it out for a good ol' paper filter pronto.
Want more performance? Get a bigger intake.

Ok, so I know someone revived an old thread, but I went back and read it all...This post by HDDP a couple of years ago is funny knowing what he is in the process of currently...hilarious.
