Here are some pics members have been asking me to post. Well I just finished with them, so you can look for yourself on what you think about my design on the intake and the path i have chosen for my personal car.
The opening is not as restrictive as i have previously thought, but still not my ideal thing either. IMO.

I hope this helps everybody out!!

btw, it is the break down of the inlet between the radiator core support and the front grille. The 7th pic is the opening of the throttle body. Showing that it is a bit over 3"!!! Then the breakdown and pics of my air intake I have built.
