^This is what I did. I'm waiting on UPS to bring my Airaid Intake tube that I won on Ebay for $60. Not sure about any hp gain, but it definitely feels like it has more roll-on power.

I cut out my box and did a K&N drop in with a straight intake tube, I love it and it picked up nicely in the upper rpms, iats havent been over 100* even after stopping and shutting down.
