Default ARC Suction Pipe Installed

Here are some pics of the ARC suction pipe I got to go with the induction box. I've yet to dyno it, but I should be able to within the next few weeks.

So does it suck air in from the top or through the factory snorkel?

I've already dyno'd the box alone, that was worth about 4hp and around 10 above 6k. I assume with the pipe a total of 10-15 additional HP above stock isn't completely out of the question.

How can a new airbox alone add power? Does it use a different air filter?

$300 for the "Suction pipe"!!! Looks almost identical to the JOEZ pipe which costs 1/3 the price.
