Looks to me like that yellow shroud would restrict air flow.

Most installs of that nature end up looking a little like this.



I have no idea what the shroud is for. You can buy a universal K&N cone filter like shown in the picture at most auto parts stores that will fit your short ram.

Good luck!!!

And to Acura World!!
