But in case of Ant's setup, his 3" pipe is after the MAF--so there's no surge of air. Unless you're talking about increased static friction and a ram-air effect resulting from the piping, I'm not sure the piping can throw off the reading because it's past the MAF sensor.
Maybe 3" is too big--but no jaggies is def better than jaggies
Oh and I strongly agree with your comment about Apex'i--not only does it provide the gains, but more importantly it filters the elements very well. For that reason I'd prefer that over any other SRI option. Problem is, I'm still holding out for some Icebox setup, heheh.
