Stock airboxes are there to quell induction noise. Take a look at all the ridiculous baffles tacked on to many stock airboxes. Those are guaranteed to create turbulence and slow air intake speed. All it would take would be a simple flow test of a stock airbox vs. the CAI. I don't look at my intake as being a cold air intake, rather a free-er flowing intake. Diminishing the restriction of the stock airbox is always a good thing as long as you are not sucking in overly hot underhood air.
Every stock airbox with stock paper filter I've checked also show a distinct dirty area on the filter that is WELL smaller than the overall size of the filter itself. What that tells me is that the engine is sucking in the air through a much smaller area than say an open cone.
I think we should send this one into Mythbusters and we could get our answer quick.
