(Please don't take that last statement as a threat. By no means do I feel threatened by any of this. I was honestly just trying to save you a little heart ache. I don't want to see anyone invest there time and money into anything that wouldn't pay out for them in the end).
Just a thought on how to prevent issues later down the road with other air intake systems:
Post the patent number for your system.
That way whoever seriously decides to undertake a similar project can compare their idea against yours. By doing so there will be no questions if they come up with a system that might infringe on your patent.
Your work/ideas are protected by the patent you applied for and have received. It is also public record, so there should be no problem with you posting the number.
BTW what does it cost to apply for and receive a patent now days? How long did the patent process take?
It's always a good thing to see something like this start off as an idea in someone's garage and then grow into something big. I'm interested in seeing what others come up with. Good luck.
