Of course, not commenting about the flow of the pipes Tony, just curious about the placement of filters in terms of available airflow.
No. This point is invalid. Look at my ridgeline or any other oem panel filter airbox with a decent amount of power. The box is completely sealed off except for a 1" by 8" slot intake duct. The twin cone filter area has multiple times this amount of available free air space. This should be looked at as a zero cost of concern.

Missed a few pages, not sure if anyone asked this but is this with a hi-flow cat? Says "full" 2.5 so i wasn't sure if there was a downpipe or both?

We have not tried this setup with a HFC. We ran the car on stock cats, as well as a full 2.5" setup (downpipes, exhaust)

I think you're getting too caught up with shooting the idea down to really understand what I'm saying...
