Noting really significant. We have found that the intake restriction is the snorkel ducting, not the filter/airbox. So as long as that is still in there, all the intake (stock or otherwise) are going to perform about the same. The only time the AirRaid intake picked up a few hp (over stock) was when you removed the lid. While this eliminates all intake restriction, it not longer is a "cold air" box. Probably doesn't matter when the car is in motion (since underhood temps are close to ambient) but really does heat things up in stop and go traffic.
