The N/A Limiteds don't benefit too much with the DCAI like mine or Needswings.
The one ala_xfire showed above is mainly used with the SCAI from Needswings.
What I have on my '05 Limited is the cover off a C240/320 MB. This provides 50% more air flow and uses larger filters, and works great with the updated 74mm TB and 3" MAF. Straight plug & play!

Here's a pic of the size difference between OEM and C240/C320 cover filters......
