it only takes like 5 minutes to pull the new epxy's intakes off, u could EASILY swap it back and forth while the wife isn't paying attention I pulled my wife's the 1st day she got it to the big Island still deciding if I wanna pull the snorkel. I don't really think it'll make a diff. only one way to find out I guess tho LOL pulled it off to check for silencer tube inside or any other restrictions I could've removed immidiately but besides the snorkel I dunno if there are any. there are like 6 resonators tho built into the stock box... pos imo lol

intake filter adapter just gotta bolt it to the stock box after modding it mildly LOL mostly to keep the MAF section of tube and to have some sort of box, it's 3" so it'd work fine for the amount of air it can flow specially if I replaced it with say a volant powercore or AEM dryflow cone filter w/3" outlet
here's some 3" intake that could be customized to work on the later part of the stock intake tube (still keeping a little of the MAF piping just after the MAF itself.

a straight piece with a 90* at the end similar to the K&N model for the expy
dunno what the plumbing tube costs but I personally would rather have the crappy blue filter than a shop vac filter.. I think my buddy with an F1 that did the funky plumbing piping intake mod used a shop vac filter iirc... and all the while it was white and ugly too LOL. u can easily piece together something like an intake, I just don't really wanna resort to that lol
u could even get some carbon super sized intake piping if u wanted to spend more...
like I keep insisting tho, DEFINITELY DEFINITELY want to keep the MAF and a few inches of it's pipe front and behind it incorperated as like a bottle neck in the stockish location... maybe use this giand piping as more of a ram air before the fact, or even turn it down to a location that would run cold air in from outside the engine bay
even the honda carbon mufflers the tip is 4" so the main piece must be 5" or so, u could use it to insulate a tube and have it filled with expanding foam lots of different stuff u could do if u wanna makeshift something. there's probably cheaper ways to get carbon or polished aluminum tubes but that was where I knew I could find some...
these are about $50 shipped, just drill out the rivets and u got urself some nice carbon tubing for cheap
that's huge tho seeing as the tip is 4" I'd only use it to cover a smaller tube and fill it with insulation to keep the actual air intake pipe cool
