Will 2nd the never seen it done like that before. Clever thinking there & looking smart. Not sure exactly how much free airflow will be going through like that but if it doesnt feel like its being strangled then its all good. Good water protection for sure

Good old fashioned engineering.

Personally I feel that the O/E filter is very restrictive as it was originally designed for the 2.0 KV6 in the Rover 45. It's location is a perfect heat soak and unfortunatly I doubt your solution will avoid this much.

However my mate who built "the mental maestro" as featured on a pre Clarkson topgear had a similar arrangment on his car which worked well.

It would be interesting to see what inlet temps you are running, my scangauge shows my setup runs about 5' above ambiant.
