The quality's rubbish de snorkel your original airbox and fit a K&N. The SWG kit wont give you any performance gains

Sorry guys but stick with an original air filter, de-snorkel the box and feel free to open it up a bit round where the carbon cannister would have been. There should be something on this in the 'definitive air filter' thread, but I did a back to back on a rolling road between a standard air filter and a K&N on my G60 - standard was better.

Mine has a carbon cannister below the airbox, do people remove it?

Yep, common thing to remove on a G60. There are a few threads on here covering off how to do it (what to remove and what to block off).

Is there a reason to remove it? All it does is recycle fumes from the tank into the intake. Is there a gain from removing it?

It removes a load of vacuum/boost conections which are prone to leaks, especailly when 20+ years old in some cases. It also opens up a nice big hole to the underside of the car to get cod air in towards the intake where it is needed most.
