So with a 03 Ford Zetec engine...considering the just about even cold air/warm air tests...I'd be better off just removing the whole air intake tube and installing an OEM style K&N filter to reduce pumping losses from intake restriction?

Some claim mpg gains from the K&N OEM style and less tubing for the air to run thru can't hurt....would be drawing warmer air from under the hood though....
