Sorry have to agree dont like it.
I would try to make the bend less harsh, the less of a bend the faster the flow of air. On my car I have removed a large chunk of the bottom of my air filter with a jigsaw (

) cant be seen and makes a cracking noise when you floor it.
I would agree, maybe try to get the pipe to fix onto the airfilter itself so only cold air goes in. You could cut the bit facing up off completely and join the piping to it.
