Yes, the best gains are by going with the entire system vs using the stock box. On my truck I left the stock box and used a K&N filter becuae I didn't want to tempt fate. My truck used to see a lot of mud and creek & river crossings and I wanted to know that my stock box had a lid to keep out any flying water.

On the H3 I'll probably replace the whole unit. More than likely I'll go with the Gibson exhuast, but the side swept single (I think it still exits out the back), and not the split rear.

Just curious do these aftermarket intakes make a weird noise? If so, which one makes the least?

it lets the engine breath more air easier, and if its a true cold air intake, it brings in cooler air (which is more dense). more air in lets the engine produce more power, an extreme example of this would be a turbo (although without intercoolers, those push out some hot air, as compressed air is hot)
