Its been a while since I've had thermo dynamics in college and I might be a bit rusty but as far as I can tell that box is doing nothing other than looking awkward. I'm not trying to bash the design, just haven't been able to wrap my mind around how it's better than whats already available and would love to be educated.

Read my points in first post, click on link to see example of Swift's work. The key is the elliptical bellmouth design for improved flow dynamics and complete enclosure plus OEM ducting for optimal heat shielding. Also, ease of installation and cleaning and pretty underhood bling.
Whether or not it actually outperforms any existing intake is an empirical question, which cannot be answered without building and testing it... hence the thread.
I have no pre-existing relationship with Swift -- just saw the design and thought it would be a great option for us...
