Re: Snorkel gave me an idea...

Yes is in the same outside location of the snorkel. The shot is supposed to depict a small scoop facing forward, mounted above the passenger side wheel well which feeds directly into the airbox via a 3" diameter tube (give or take).
I understand the air is already being drawn from the outside. I think this idea, with the extended scoop facing forward would actually further cool and force air into the box. Am I an engineer? Nope. Do I have anything to support this? Nope. Just thinking out loud and taking a look at ideas I've seen on other car applications such as ram airs being placed under fenders, etc.
