That does look nice but what about the tumble flaps? Looks like this just does aways with them, I'm not sure what the difference would be but I'd guess you'ld get a CEL and rough idle.
You might loose a bit of torque with a static inlet like this. The idea of varible length in-let tracts/tumble flaps is that by varying the length of the runners you can optimise the engines output giving tractability and torque low down, without having to compromise at the top end.
