Kept the OEM filter in place (I green filter might flow better). I saw somewhere on these forums that someone dyno'd this, OEM, Rotofab to show the difference in HP gained/lost. I recall those numbers were insignificant. But, if you're looking for better looks - anything over the stock box is very nice.
A stock car is much less likely to have the OEM intake be a restriction. And in your situation the OEM air filter is likely a bigger pressure drop than the air box, so my guess is any air box improvement is negated if the air filter is the bottleneck. And again, until you increase the engines airflow requirements, there is not much to be had in the intake.
