I've wondered about that type of design for similar reasons. Just how close does the divider between the filter and the engine come to the hood? Does it serve to create a semi-enclosed box?

And except when sitting at idle, given the velocity of the incoming airflow, where would heat soak occur?

It would be interesting if someone could log IATs with the stock intake and then with one of these filters on a stick. Maybe someone already has, and I'm just too lazy to go hunting. If so, apologizes in advance.
