Correct me if I am wrong. I don't think there has been any evidence that the stock box can't flow enough cool air to a bolted and tuned car. From what I have gathered, aftermarket intakes have not shown any significant improvement over the stock box with a K&N or a dry flow filter installed. Not saying there is not room for improvement, but if the engine in its current configuration "whatever that is with your parts" can't pull more air and that is not due to a restriction in the intake then what is the point? Cooler air is another story of course, but taking the snorkel off its not going in the right direction.
