That would work just as well if not better than most of the CAI on the market.

any kit with the filter in the fender away from the engine heat would be an improvement over an open-air filter in the engine compartment.

On my car that system didnt do shit really. I noticed absoultely no seat of the pants differnce. For the price of the filter and the other shit u can get the densecharger meter forward system, but if ur doing that might as well get the whole thing. When i switched, i noticed a little seat of the pants difference, but my car has a dying problem now.

I used to have the K&N FIPK kit. Something I noticed after changing to a BBK (in the fender) kit is that my air cleaner stays clean a whole lot longer.

The down side is that it is a pain to even check because I now have to jack up the car and move the fender liner to access the air cleaner.

i have the mac cold air system in the fenderwell and i have the same problem with checking the air filter. i think the only difference between the bbk and the mac cold air systems is the price.
