I can say this.... any aggressive (90*) bend you put into the air stream pre throttlebody does zap some HP. Why not just do a SpeedDensity tune and remove that restriction also?
Realize that a straight shot style intake is cost prohibitive in most swap applications.
On a 440ci LSx motor we gained 25rwhp+ by making a straight shot intake vs. one with a 90* bend. This was done on the dyno..... same day testing. 595rwhp with custom 4" intake and LS7 K&N filter. SpeedDensity tune.
