If you meant what i had said about the filter pulling in hot air and if you had a filter element where the box is or whatever I said...?? That's not making fun of you. I always have constructive criticism that is meant to help you, not to poke fun at you. i know it's hard to decipher written text as such, but that's the truth.
I must say, you've got more will power than i do to fab up something creative. I'm actually staging a HID project out like Weed is, but nothing that drastic.

Keep us posted.

Eddison made hundreds of light bulbs before he found the right material to make one last. He said these were not failures, because he learned how NOT to make a light bulb! As long as you learn from your mistakes, it is not wasted effort!

constructively...that current setup needs to go. I'm glad you realized this.

Why not just take out the section with the filter and replace it with a straight pipe? drop in the K&N at the top of the airbox you got there.
