When I had the intake vent out I was thinking of doing something similar to your setup. I was also considering getting another snorkel and reshaping it into a more free flowing air horn but it would require alot of flow modeling and bench testing. I used to do alot of CFD in grad school but for the small gains that would yield, I'll just stick with the stock snorkel.
