Yeah, that part looks like junk.
Send it to me and I'll see that it's disposed of properly.

If that was the case: why do anything at all. With the K&N cone type filter you will get all the dirt and hot air from the engine compartment: all things we are tying to avoid.
If you have a raised air intake you have completely negated its purpose by doing as you suggest.

a metal one would cost more than a used Disco!
The mold cost on a plastic one would be in the 30-50k range.
then you have to ship the Albatross.
I’ll leave that project to someone who enjoys pain and hardship.

And completely negates the ability to use a raised air intake. And still allows dust and dirt to enter into the filter which allows more to pass thru than the factory type filter. Not my idea of a good place for a K&N especially with the MAF. Do as you wish but I prefer not to worry about stream crossing and water ingestion. I guess it is a non issue on most highways and parking lots.
