i was thinking it might rob power due to the fact that it is closer to the engine than stock, which would essentially mean it would be taking in hotter air? that was my theory, but i guess i was wrong! (which in this case i like to hear
)

I feel like a NOOB asking 
but what exactly is the "set up"?? And what is the point of still having the stock intake plastic piece in there with a new intake? Does it keep air flowing into the new filter? Cause if it does it seems like a really smart idea!! (Be nice guys, theres only one way to learn and thats to ask. 
)

im just kiddin man!to answer your questions seriously:
1) "the set up" is just the cone filter on the MAF and other rectangular plastic piece.
2)no that plastic piece on the front of the car doesnt need to be there. the person just never took it off when they replaced the intake w/ the cone filter

Watch out!! about to talk again!! 
Looking at it though and having some experience working on the intake system, wouldn't keeping that plastic piece in be smart? The flow of air from it would go directly onto the intake filter, and the air flow into it would thus be better/slightly colder than if you were to take it out? I dunno, just a crazy idea.

Aftermarket intakes on 4th gens kill throttle response. No way around it.
If your looking for some noise, get an intake. If you like nice throttle response when you step on the gas, leave the stock intake alone.

I have the resonator and the square box right behind the MAF that I bought from a junk yard. How do I connect the square box to the MAF? There is about 1/4" diameter difference in the two. I cannot figure this out. The coupler on my short ram is too small for the sqaure box.
