Open to any and all suggestions.....the 1 I had looked at is not esthetically appealing.

On my N/A, I had thought of a 12" round 2-3" high 'can' on top of the manifold connected to the TB via 2 90 deg elbows and a short straight section containing the MAF. The 'can' would contain a flat round 9" filter, and be sealed top and bottom except for a 6-7" round cutout in the top that would connect to the hood via some flexible foam. The hood would then have some louvers in this section ala 50's-60's style.
( the air would be pulled in to the inside of the filter, the intake would pull from the outside )
Just a thought
