Does an in intake make a difference?

I would also think that just taking off the resonators and other useless crap would function well enought.

You are correct but these are all things that need to be considered. an ITR makes 3-4 hp with a CAI over it's improved resonator design. The AEM and Icemans I have dyno'd on B18C1's make about 8-10 whp. Just things to consider.
And IIRC they (GSR/RS/LS) are actually pulling their air for directly behind the ABS (Assuming they have ABS)

One thing to consider is that every 5° F rise in intake temperature, air density drops 1% and the less dense the air, the less fuel in the mixture, the less power....So it theoretically makes sense to keep the intake temperature as low as possible, CAI is one way to do that.
