it would seem to me it would limit your flow a smidgen for the TB size... you usually want to keep everything around the same cc up to the intake to maintain the most flow through the TB other wise its kinda like taking a vacuum cleaner and shrinkng the end of the hose... it works harder to pull the air through.

That looks like a stock lid with the baffles still attached.

That air intake setup (lid/maf) and exhaust setup (3" ORY/loudmouth) could be improved upon.
