I've always looked at the IC as being the restriction with the Sprintex kits, but maybe that's not accurate.

People put filters in the engine bay because it's easy, although the Sprintex kits re-use the stock airbox so it shouldn't really be necessary.
Stock intake setup becomes a restriction over 300hp, apparently according to cosworth engineers.
