When I had the intake vent out I was thinking of doing something similar to your setup. I was also considering getting another snorkel and reshaping it into a more free flowing air horn but it would require alot of flow modeling and bench testing. I used to do alot of CFD in grad school but for the small gains that would yield, I'll just stick with the stock snorkel.
Haha I was going to get another snorkel and chop it shorter. The idea you had would be a fun winter project if you had all the necessary equipment. I have to think Porsche already has that covered pretty well. I really didn't understand the function of the piece I removed, that thing that looks like the dip cup they put holy water in. It certainly looked to me like it was blocking the inlet. As for cones, I think anything that breaks the airbox would just suck hot air, I have seen people put cones into modified closed boxes, I wonder how that set up is?

The Evolution Motorsports high flow air intake for the 986 boxster is an excellent bang for the buck. It utilizes a cone shaped air filter and a revised snorkel, along with a dedicated air box. It gives a little bit of a bump in hp and creates an awesome sound !
