Question Ram effect?

This snork mod talk has me thinking, (always a bad sign) that what if a trumpet/funnel snork was fashioned and replaced the original. Would that not a certain amount of ram effect (poor mans supercharger) into the intake thus increasing performance, at least a little bit? I notice that the stock snork seems to get larger as it enters the intake manifold which is the opposite of what I am suggesting. Also if the new Boxster/Cayman animals have a larger air vents there must be a valid reason, more cooling air perhaps? Is there a larger or should I say, more open replacement for the vent cover on earlier models? You understand I mean less metal around the opening cover and more sreen area? Any of you engineer types have any thoughts on this, Jim etc.?
