I would leave the bottom on the airbox, because you get much colder air with it still there. If you take the resonator out of the wheelwell, I don't think the rubber joint from the airbox to the fender is that bad of a restriction, given the size of the throttle body and MAF. (Maybe it is, though. Jamming some kind of cylinder in it to stretch the rubber might help...)
