theres a jubilee clip under the air box (screw driver will undo this) and its off. just give it some force...
then you could take tthe air feed pipe off (2 10mm bolts, 1 under the coolent tank and one above it on the strut tower)

just put a bolt through the hole in the pipe...(big bolt so it doesnt drop out lol) then put a nut onit from the inside of the pipe 
pair of pliers, pinch the clip and pull it off.

what you just said lol ''oil breather pipe'' it just lets oil out the rocker cover (nothing really comes out anyway) so i wouldnt worry about it. it wont affect anything.
Just like squarepants says. After 105k km on my Micra the only thing that came out of that pipe was some oil fumes but nothing worth mentioning - wouldn't even seen them if there wasn't a sort of filter in the stock airbox.
Btw - that intake doesn't look very good. Ok it "looks" good but not performance wise.
I tryed different setups but the only one that I could feel (I know...nice scientific method lol) a difference was this with a sport filter just like yours

its almost at a ''tunned'' length. so should give okay gains. you can tell a diffrance between them and one sat on the TB. saying this iam running the standard set-up with a green cotten panel filter as i think its just as good as anything else
Just wanted to help m8s. Common sense would say that the CAI (cold air induction) would be mounted in a place which cold air is fed to.
Behind the battery is not a place like that
Anyway - just wanted to help to with my experience cause the sound is such a tempting factor which makes you feel the car goes faster.
So if your happy with it then it's the right thing for you (Y)

would have to agree with K11, the noise will give you the feeling you are going faster but an air filter on a small engine wont give anything much more than noise.
As stated you would have to get the open filter in a position that cold air gets too, with ot without the aid of some funneling. preferably as far away from the engine heat as possible and if not get a heatshield.
my 2pence worth

Firstly with a back box the sound is not very noticable. I have that induction kit and yea it looks good and its okay better than the original. And its cheap for what it is. K11, are using the set up of that pic you posted up? If so.. where is the filter :S if its just a pipe which it looks as if it is, then all the crap from outside flys ect is being drawn in? Also since mines a 1.0 im not expecting very good bph back from adding anything much lol.

The filter is on my desk in my garage. I made this pic so I could show someone else how I'm going to do it but at that point it wasn't finished.
The pipe is smooth inside and the outside is ufff can't remember the word but you see it on the pic so you can bend it a lot.
At the end of this pipe I mounted my filter and yes without it you would slowly ruin your engine
The filter looks like this
And you can gain bhp from an 1.0 (Y)
