A new intake suggestion, dont think its been tried before
Since there is all this argument about the resonator and mid pipe and the low end loss and the cai not having the top end yadayada... I dont think this has been suggested before so here it goes.
What if you made a "CAI" out of the stock intake. If you cut a hole in the bottom of the stock airbox, and a hole directly below it in the fender well so that it draws air up from the wheel well wouldnt it be just like a CAI pretty much? Rather than just hacking the air box to draw in engine bay air.
Would someone w/ a CAI or hacked airbox already be willing to give this a shot and even dyno it? I dont have a hacked box or CAI and dont want to make holes in the fender well to test it, but I figure if its already there then maybe someone can try it out.
This way you could even look totally stock under the hood too.

That's a good idea. One variation on this idea is to modify the stock resonator, the one under the battery. You can cut a hole in it (away from the radiator) and you don't have to cut hole(s) in the chassis. So you have the air coming threw the "RAM" scoop and the open resonator. Then you could take it one step further by using you idea of the hole in the bottom of the air box.
