The only real difference between using the CAI vs stock airbox was 1) the shape of the airbox (cone vs box) 2) the heat shield, 3) the tune. Both airboxes are located in the same location, above the left front tire.
A cone filter, possibly, could get more warm air into the engine than the air box. Of course, without the heat shield.

Is the tune required for the other intake? I know some adjust the size of the tube, making a tune important to not screw things up.
