Thats an interesting idea that inspires me, you could use the Snorkel as a mount... just chopping off most of it and using the base as a mounting point for the new filter HOWEVER you would get the filter wet when washing the car... and while water will not splash into the airbox.. it would atomize when the engine is started and sucking in air and that mist of water will land on the MAF if the filter isnt dried first.

Also, i think alot of the cool intake sound would be canceled out with a filter on the end of the assembly cause i beleive some of the noise is part of an echo which come from inside the void of which the old snorkel use to occupy (the gap between the scoop on the body and oval opening of the airbox).
