Stupid idea #2 - use one of those rock-screen setups on the SC and then add a filter before the IC (or farther downstream before the TB's)? Can't think of a reason why the filter couldn't be pressurized..

I have been drinking.

I’ve thought about an airbox idea, I’ve seen a few builds using one.

I wouldn’t put a filter on the pressure/boosted side of induction,
As it could force it into your engine or at least dis-figure it & cause disruption in boost.
I’ve seen a few screens on the pressure side of oem diesels (heavy duty w/large holes) but nothing as restrictive as a filter.
When you say bumper; are you speaking of crash bar? As these are modified for various use of different filters & even replaced with smaller tubular ones (such as Fast-Intentions).
Nothing wrong with brainstorming on new ideas; as all these are custom & not oem.

nah I meant the bumper... like pipe the filter down to one of the open cavities on the sides (where FI/GTM/Gamma TT kits put the filters).
