Default AU111 Air Intake

Hi guys, I have a 2002 AU111 Futura six cylinder auto. I have been looking at replacing the standard air filter with a K&N filter. While looking around the intake system I got the idea in my head that I could make myself a custom air intake using a different size K&N filter than normal. I want to make a more direct intake to the throttlebody. Looking at the standard intake system, it seems very inefficient and restrictive.

I want to know, if I bypass the complete standard air intake pipe work & airbox and run a pipe straight to the throttlebody, does this effect the running of the engine in regards to the computer? I see there is a smaller pipe running off the intake near the throttle body which I would of course plumb in where it is ment to be. Looking at some aftermarket cold air intakes, they talk about some requiring reprogramming things to allow for the higher air flow. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks Craig.
