They should work just fine. The Racing beat product is just to direct the air at the filters more accurately than the stock piece can. Personally, I don't think it's necessary. If I were you I'd just buy the intake. But if you want both they'll work fine together.

apexi intake is fine by itself. i dont think you need the rb box. its just a replacement for the front plastic duct that imo is not needed w/ the apexi. just cover the hole over the ic duct if you leave the front cover peice off. i think it works better without the front plastic peice. thers a thread somewhere on here that tells why. just search for "apexi intake"

If you are concerned with reliability with the car, you'll want a cold air intake.

Honestly, unless you have a specific need, you should just keep the stock air box and just modify it:

The racing Beat upgrade won't do much for you without the airbox. With the airbox, it will allow the intake to take a more direct path to the airfilters because the intake is sucked thru the inlet.
With the open filters, air is sucked from everywhere in the engine compartment, which will include warm air. It will not suck much thru the RB pipe.
A better alternative would be to modify your stock airbox without the RB duct. Check out this thread:

Just buy one and see if you like it. And be more damned specific with your question than "what's better". It's pretty obvious it's just a personal preference, so make your choice!
