Wow..Ok I totally missed the pic of it coming though the high beam. Few things...

Corrugated tubing = bad idea. Too much surface area. The shape also restricts airflow horribly in more than one way.

You're not technically RAMming air into anything that will make a considerable difference. Air is just flowing though at whatever speed you are driving, no pressure is being applied.

Wouldn't you rather have a nice pretty highbeam that helps vision rather than a red air filter sticking out the nose of the car? People passing it in the parking lot will say..WTF is that?

Fix that battery son. That'll cause serious damage.

With the filter exposed...There's still the possiblity of water settling in the intake (i.e. car sitting in the pouring rain, water gathers) I just wouldn't risk the possiblity of hydrolock.

The best location for an intake filter, i.m.o is right where the stock air box sat. Mine dips in front of the tranny and just don't like it that much. Good thing it was like 20 bucks.

I'm not dogging you, I like the enginuity. But I think you overthought this one. My advice, put that high beam back in, correct the bends and have a straight as possible shot to the stock airbox position with 3" stainless tubing and an airfilter. You'll be straight.
