Is that plastic piece between the inlet pipe and intake oem? Can you install that inlet without the intake portion?
The black plastic elbow piece between the HVI and Inlet pipe is OEM yes.
AFAIK - PRL says the HVI is required for the Inlet Pipe, but not it doesn't seem required to me. Would be a bit redundant to have a more open inlet pipe without the HVI as well though.
That answer your questions?

It does. Thank you.

I'm just looking for a better material to resist heat from the intake sitting right over the turbo. You can definitely tell when it's heat soaked. At the end of the day, the entire intake tract is limited by the size of the turbo inlet itself, so I personally doubt there's any net benefit from a bigger intake box or piping. Noises are the benefit I'd see, and hopefully no reduction in particulate filtering or accumulation by moving to the aftermarket filter.

It looks great, but what's the consensus on that intake pipe adding more heat to the intake? It seems to me like it's a giant heat magnet on top of an already large heat source.
It's ti, so should resist heat more than stock aluminum. You can wrap it in gold foil for more heat reflection.

1st mod to the car swapped out the Factory wheels and tires for a set of Apex SM-10RS in 18x9.5 along with another set of P4S. Didn't realize how heavy the stock wheels are but this cut off a nice chunk of rotating mass...
