Had a good drive out in the desert with some friends this morning, also swapped out the air filter and ac filter. Parts store gave me the "activated charcoal" air filter has anyone noticed a difference between it and the standard filter?

The only thing I noticed was reduced air flow. Of course, I'm not a smoker - which is where the charcoal filter should make a difference.
HTH
Any pics of how it hooks up to the airbox?

No pics; but there is a poly sleeve that connects to the air box opening. It is the wrong size, so I had to use a heat gun to get it to fit. They also send some stainless steel clamps that are too small for the Petrol air box (the safari is made for deisels), so you have to buy a longer clamp. No pics, because there is no way of really getting a good angle to see what's going on. The poly hose connector took the majority of the install time for me.
What did the wife think about that mod?
Well, first deep water scenario you introduce your wife to she will be singing your praise. Until then don't bring attention to it. Ha ha

Just tell her it increases fuel efficiency...you're almost not lying.
Every time my wife says stupid waste of money I point out her shoes and purses in the closet. Argument over.
Oh course somehow I still lose. I have not won an argument in 20 years and that's ok.

I wish my wife would buy some shoes or purses so I had more excuse to waste money
All she uses money for is camera gear
As I want a 1299 panigale, I said something about expensive camera gear and she pointed out most of it used to take our family and kid pics
My wife and I have a deal: I won't count the shoes in her closet and she won't count the guns and cameras in the safes.
I brought LC to dealer for 10K service and asked them to identify and eliminate squeak coming from second row middle seat. Their efforts lead to the determination Chiquita was the culprit.
It would have been awesome if true, but it sadly turned out not to be as I endured the annoying squeak on the ride home...

I've heard that before.
That's simply awesome. That simply can't admit that all the seats rattle.
There was a thread about seat noises... If I'm not mistaken, the rattling came from the headrests and adjusting the height solved it while the squeaking was caused by the leather rubbing on each other or against the plastic. You could try stuffing a cloth between the seats where the 60/40 split meets and another time between the seatback and seat cushion to narrow down where the noise was coming from. I can't remember if that poster used a leather conditioner to stop the squeak or just left a rag stuffed in the seat.

Does your back seat rattle?

Thank you. I reviewed it and will continue to explore an alternative to the banana sticker hypothesis.
I made a thread about this with pics. Search for "Cutting a large hole in a perfectly good 200"
