It should help somewhat since cooler air will be hitting the filter. Try making an enclosure for the filter and it should work better.

If you run a pipe underneath to the big opening in the middle, you can attach a bypass valve halfway which will filter any water out that tries to get in.

wat i did was modify my stock intake box to encompass the cone filter i have. flowing to that is air being directed from laundry duct tubing that i have routed next to the passenger fog to the airbox. The airbox is cut open like a BFI.
