I think the moto to that story is don't shove an aftermarket pod filter on an otherwise unmodified factory intake system!
Vehicle manufacturers would have gone to a lot of trouble to get the resonance to noise ratio as tuned as possible and changing the system unnecessarily will decrease performance and possibly increase noise.
Obviously if you have changed something in the system through necessity (e.g. changed the intercooler) then the tuning of the system would be out anyway.
Also tuning the intake like this would mainly be done by the manufacturer to increase power in the peak RPM range... changing the intake "may" improve performance outside of that range... to be able to target the tuning you would really need to be a mathematical genious or go through a lot of trial and error testing (probably both)
