OK, so does this imply that the rep kit effectively utilizes the factory ducting? I'm blind to what's behind there (duct-wise) so forgive my ignorance, but I think that's what everyone is getting at here. We just want to make sure we're not starving anything of airflow by going with the rep kit over oem.

Don't worry, you will not be starving your car of any air flow. Just make sure you get the passenger (right) fog support (it's like $6). It'll allow air flow to the oil cooler. Or... you can modify the one that comes with the kit to work. All the other ducting line straight up. Below is a write up I did a while back. It should clear everything up.
