The air pipe between the throttle plate and the air cleaner is restrictive and has a couple of expansion chambers to absorb noise.
I pulled the filter from my 2003 and the factory cold air intake from the fender well causes no significant restriction.
Air-Raid will sell just the pipe between the factory filter and the throttle plate. It's all you need. The factory filter if clean, does not pose a significant airflow obstruction.
The K&N oil mesh type filters are best left for racing engines with short life spans. They let too much dirt through for a daily driver.
Many of these chrome and do-hicky products have more to do with the vehicles feel, looks, sound and the inside of your head. Not actual performance.
The engine will gain more HP if you route the hot water line around the throttle plate instead of through it. Don’t plug the line as it’s needed to vent steam and vapour.
More power again can be found with a programmer and turning of the torque limiter function. And leaning the w.o.t. mixture, if you run premium instead of tractor gas.
