I love the idea of the Dinan intake.
There are a couple things that are pretty cool...

-A lot of people see the filter in the bumper and they ask "what happens if it rains?" like it's going to suck in water. The best thing about still having the panel filter is that the air going into the engine will take the path of least resistance. The filter in the bumper could be completely submerged and the air entering the engine will still go through the panel filter.

-Cool air is better than hot (even when the car has an intercooler). I proved this when I did my test compairing the DCI. The cooler air showed less stress on the turbos.
