Any thoughts/opinions on whether or not the ISR mod would be "worth it" if I were to keep the stock airbox? Just bought a drop-in for it and would like to keep it.

That's the whole (ok, maybe not whole but most) point of the ISR mod: retaining the protection from crud by using the stock aribox, and removing the obstructions in the intake tube itself.
no brakes?

if your worried about heat some use header wrap. I just don't worry about it, the engine bay temp is what it is. If those using pvc don't have a problem, I don't think the temps get that high (unless it's hours idling in summer grid-lock). I've heated up pvc to bend it by sticking it in a tail pipe (us electricians will try anything) and it doesn't take too long. The exhaust gets a lot hotter than the engine bay IMO.

You have a VAFM, not a MAF. Two completly different air metering devices. Your Vafm should not be affected, but your TPS can be.
p.s stock is true cold air intake. Those cone filters reduce horsepower by sucking in hot engine bay air.

That's typically how most people here seem to setup their ISR mod, because it's a matter of simply removing the intake silencer assembly and not the airbox as well.
