you would be much better off using the factory air piping and airbox and just doing the "airbox mod". the factory intake piping isnt so bad.
You are correct.

The factory intake piping works very well.

The restrictive part of the factory intake is the stock filter. Replace it with a high flow unit, and you are set. I did a comparison between my old Injen intake & my current setup (factory donaldson intake w/ modified airbox & K&N E-0777), and saw an almost 2 lbs/min airflow increase. I've tested so many different intakes on my car, and saw little to no difference between any of them.

The stock cold air intake is fine. Leave the bottom on if you drive in the rain.
