Difference between cut air lid and cold air intake

What is the difference between cutting your air lid and buying a cold air intake, power wise? I dont really know how your supposed to cut your air lid neither, does anybody got any pics or directions on how exactly you are supposed to cut it?

Cut Air Lid

FYI,

If you do this, cut your air lid, the ones you purchase from the catalog stores are cheap plastic.

Yes, if you are comfortable...cut your lid. I cut and painted mine all in about 20 minutes. It's super easy and I fail to see how some others try to claim your filter will be dirtier?
