open vs unsilenced air cleaner

The premise of Chevrolets' "cowl induction" was to grab the air from the low pressure area at the base of the windshield. Wind tunnel testing I guess. Makes sense to me as my Human self has experienced breathing difficulty in windy conditions.
I have thought about a Mopar air cleaner system that is plumbed through the firewall into the cowl vented area, much like the intake for the cabin.
