Question about the stock cold air induction on a stang

[96_4.6]

Yea I noticed on my 96gt that you got the cold air box that the filter goes in, yea and then you have the tube that goes from the box to the engine but theres all this crap attached to the tube, i remember on my old camaro that all ram-air boxes or whatever just have the air tube straight through from the front to the filter and the stock stang setup has all this crap on it like the thing that says airflow and point towards the engine and if you look at the part that connects to the air box inside the tube itself there like screens in there and a black thing, doesnt all that rob straight through airflow??? thanks for any help
