Default Cai intake vs cf elbow with aftermarket filter

I had in the past a injen cai and after 10 min the alluminium pipe was very hot. So now I want to obtain a better intake and since I dont have 300$ for a cf box like spoon or mugen I will buy a Tegiwa carbon fiber elbow and put a K&N replace ment filter in the stock airbox.

What do you think about this setup, will I obtaim some real increase? Obviously the air will enter colder

Do yall have in mind that the elbow removes one resonator. And I will als remove the other resonator. So at least in high rpm there will be a better flow.

This is what I mean

I have tried to buy a DC2 OEM air box with pipe but it's imposible to send it to Spain without paying 40 o 50€ for the parcel
