yes it makes sense now, it will also make more sense when i do it this summer, i luv your idea kdxsr5, thanks. this should work great, good insight, i was about just but the snorkel tube into that sensor/afm and throw away the factory filter box thingy. but this is a much better idea! 
Glad I could help. Show us what you do when you do it, I have never actually done this, it was just a theory of mine that made a ton of sense to me.
