Has anyone done this? Should I do this?Wouldn't this setup achieve (theoretically) the same gains as a $350 K&N kit since I am running the same filter with just a different pipe?

Couple of suggestions:
1. Post in the appropriate section of the forum next time. You seem to originally have put this in the shoot-the-shit about gen/mk 2 section. I suggest checking out the technical topics first, though general discussion section might also be a good place to ask about this stuff. Don't make a new thread, I'm sure a mod will be along to move it eventually.
2. Google is your friend on all of these questions. Use "ft86club[question]" and you will find some good results from this site. Helps to come in with some basic background of what has been discussed before, in the case when it doesn't answer it outright.
3. If you are looking for actual performance increase, forget about the CAI, and just get a drop in filter. Save your money for a tune and/or headers if you want to take it that far. Any CAI will need the MAF rescaled to really run correctly anyway, and doesn't actually give you anything a drop in won't. Except some more sound I suppose.
