The stock box has a resonator in that location inside the fender, that resonator decreases air flow to the stock box. Remove the resonator and keep the stock box is an option but the main benefit of this type of CAI is smooth air flow from the outside to the throttle bodies.
No that is not right. The stock air box takes cold air in from under the front, and suppresses the sound. It does not restrict the air flow.
The only advantage of modifying it is to say" look at what I've got."
