Default Steel wool/asbestos in air box?

So what is the steel wool/asbestos crap inside the intake side of the airbox?
Prefilter?
Disintegrates when I touch it.
Pretty sure it would not be good into the engine.
Think I should just remove it. No?

Did you just purchase the vehicle? Maybe rodent protection from the PO.

JC Whitney product, gives you 30+ HP and 28 more mpg. Remove it and clean air box to remove all traces.

Is your car a 997.2? Are you referring to the fabric windows part of the intake acoustic ports?
