But I'm not an Aerodynamics Engineer (or Engineer of any sort). I'm looking forward to seeing your results and hope that my guesses are wrong.

A big dowel pin reamer may give you the taper you are looking for but not sure how it would work on plastic.
I think it all comes down to how much of a restriction is the filter. The lip of the bellmouth in it's current position just barely touches it. Otherwise, it has a direct path to the entry way on the airbox duct, maintaining the same "line of sight" as the OEM neck, just extended.

I'm hoping to recess the thing in by a few inches so it will be less of an issue. That might even give me enough room to just keep the OEM filter location, instead of having it sit a bit farther forward.

On that note, I'm not sure if filter position will make a difference either...

I'm committed to this experiment now, so win lose or draw, it will give me some useful info on what to do next (e.g., have even shorter v-stacks made) or whether to abandon the project entirely...

BTW, thanks for all of your input -- I very much appreciate it
