It sounds like the shroud just deflects forced air from hitting the filters, mainly the bottom one and forces the SC to suck calm air.
As I understand from my communication with Stillen, reducing turbulence at the filter is only important as it may reduce turbulence at the MAF's. If you look closely at the kit the distance from the filter attachments to the MAF slots is less than 2 inches. I believe this set up is unique in the world of 370Z CAI's.

When my car ran without the shroud it would stall on decel (clutch in or in neutral) - every time. The shroud stopped the stalling but now there is this driveability problem. Of note the included Stillen shroud does not fit on the 2013 model (sport touring) so it had to be heavily modified.

I think I will have to do some work this weekend and make a much larger shroud to completely shield the filters and MAF's.
