I don't know much about about cars, let's see if I can describe this. 2005 Mustang GT

I have a shaker hood scoop that sends air down into a factory box, where a K&N filters is. All of the air is sucked through this box and then up to the engine. I was wondering if I would get more power by removing the box and using one of those big CAI shaped like a cone. My worry is trying to hook up the shaker hood scoop to a cone. The cone is out in the open. I would have to some how direct the air right to the cone area. I hear that the shaker scoop gives little HP boost. So I was wondering, if I did it this way would I get more HP? Or should I leave it the ways it is? If it needed to be done I have someone that can help me install it. I just ordered a tuner from Bamachips. If I need to I can upgrade to the combo CAI.
