The flaw in this theory is that the SMIC is terribly ineffective at cooling the charge air at decent boost levels. Have you ever measured temps at the IC exit? I assure you they are far from ambient beyond 9 psi boost. Adding more heat load to an already thermally challenged intercooler is simply a bad idea.
What you're saying is true for a more efficient front-mount setup, but we're talking about a stock car here.

I have a K&N filter I got with my corksport FMIC kit if you're interested in it.
You won't hardly change your emissions or blow up your motor just from taking out your airbox + putting a cone filter in. As long as you do what evil aviator said + not get a shitty one. Apexi + K&N make great filters. I've heard that the HKS foam filters will dry out + disintegrate after long periods of time. But that's why you replace them.

All you'll need is the S shaped section, which replaces the TID. An airbox will dampen some of the noise, but with any TID change from stock, you will greatly increase the volume of the turbo. If you REALLY want to hear the turbo, plumb a 1/2" hose from the airbox into the cabin, like Ford does on the new Mustang.
