NMKawierider. I took your great idea one step further. Took two of the fresh air intake mounted one as you suggested them mounted flange to flange with with other, one on ether side of rear wall then mounted a mushroom filter on back side. Also added uni filter, What a difference I was cleaning stock filter after every ride now 4 rides without having to clean. I also have a 3 " silcon 90 degree tube used on turbo's with some pvc pipe so if needed i can have a snorkel with about 3 min of work. Thanks for your post helped a lot.
