Common sense tells me that if the engine draws in air by opening a valve and the piston going down creating a low pressure zone, creating work on the engine in the form of a vacuum. That in turn is then filled with atmospheric pressurized air. The less restrictive it is for that volume in the cylinder to fill, the better. The velocity being drawn through the stock air cleaner (making 4-90 degree turns in less then 20 inches) is high. A straight shot is much better, allowing for the cylinder to fill easier.
Makes sense to me.
