Question about carbs for tunnel rams

I've had an idea! Oh oh hahaha......so i already have one of these filters, (see pic),
If i was to buy another one, and "shave" just a little bit off the top and bottom lips of both of them, like this >>>
i believe it should fit, as it's only bigger by quater inch, and i dont even think it would be very noticeble, i'd put both shaved sides facing each other.
What do you all think? Be gentle lol.
