I removed mine and only dyno'ed after removal, it seemed louder to me with some increased throttle response, don't know about the hp gain.

I honestly felt a night & day difference the moment I took mine off.
The throttle response was definitely quicker... I was fortunate to have my BMW shop foreman help me with this removal

Do you know if Canadian cars have Charcoal filters?

I believe the entire North American market gets them.
Check in the black filter box housings at the bottom left and right corners of the engine bay. Be careful to clean thoroughly and to make sure no debris from the filters is left behind or it will end up in the engine. - |

Doesn't hurt to open up the passenger side first to double check.
(Much easier side incase there is no charcoal filter)

Instructions
Aside from removing the filter box covers, where do the charcoal filters sit so I can remove them?
Additionally, is there a negative side affect from removing these charcoal filters? |
