I see what you guys are going for, but it wouldn't be a major improvement over a quality enclosed CAI. Especially considering that the duct-work would likely have to contain at least two bends in it - you want as straight an intake as possible.
Now I do think your idea is very useful as a CAI supplement - have some ducting going from the fenderwell or front air dam into your CAI box to help bring in cool air
