Carlsson simply replaces the box filter with a high flow box filter. There's a lot of debate how to create the best effect, but the consensus seems to be the OEM setup is pretty much optimal, and any redesign that would functionally create an improvement would require a radical reconfiguration of the engine bay.

Delete your resonator and install an X-pipe (~$200), replace your paper air filter with high flow filters (~$100), and then have your chip performance tuned ($750-1,500). All very subtle, the X-pipe will make the engine roar a bit louder, and you'll get from 15-30 hp increase from the improved air flow and ignition curves.
