Default No, I wasn't going to pay that much for a glorified cone intake / heat shield combo.

I had an AEM dry flow cone + heatshield + snorkel. However the stock airbox definetly gets more cold air, since it's completely sealed off from the engine bay. Pull up top with more timing is very noticeable.

Default The stock intake will flow enough air for that kit? inside>

I thought it looked awfully small, it would not flow enough for my setup but I didnt think it would flow enough for 300hp either? I have a 97 snd the piece I am thinking about was black plastic and the width of the intake piece was less than an inch thick at the mouth. I am too lazy to do the math for you, but your mod may cost you HP if it is like the piece on mine. You may be fine and I may be nuts, but I dont thinkl the stock "snorkle" will flow enough for your application. Conservatively that piece would have to flow over ~400cfm to make the hpclaims of 320 _right_?

Default Same size as stock airboxes on S4s that are flowing over 600 chp.

That's enough for this kit ;-)
