Honestly, if this is the first mod and you just got the car, you will waste your money. That adapter costs like $20.
The open cone filters will suck in hot air under the hood. It's like 1-2% decrease in power for every 10 deg rise in intake air temp.
You could just remove the precats and have a downpipe made fairly cheap and it will be a better mod.

Sure, the exhaust is going to give you (better) gains, but it's no where as cheap or easy to do as a cone filter conversion.

Yup, a heat shield will be necessary. As for the downpipe, i am pretty sure any muffler shop will make and intall one for less than 50 bucks, if the state of georgia is not **** about emissions that is.

I KNOW I say an artical SOMEWHERE on how to make a cold air box/shield! I would just do a search to find it. It did look pretty easy! Anyway I DO have to agree with RETed and his advice does sound logical!

Perhaps this will help. http://www.fc3s.org/ click under engine than click again under COLD AIR BOX.
Wozzom had an excellent How-To for Series IV's. Don't know where It disappeared to though.
