Looks like the Star Ship Enterprise (Beam Me Up Scotty)

But, does seem to be an idea worth investigating... If he/she reamed the guts out of the inside of the air box could work depending how closley the cone filters fit up to the cowl surrounding the fan...

If the cones are aligned directly above the fan, I think the air temp would be substantially cooler as most hot air will pool near the mid/back of the engine bay...

Also, if the cones fit directly above the fan I would assume the increased air flow form the fan would feed the filters better than the little intake tubes that are currently there, which rely on foraward movement to a point...

Where did you find the photo ???
