A T2 hood would make a great cold ram air intake to those filters. Looks like they are about the same size and similar placement as the stock T2 intercooler. Just fabricate up a box to enclose the filters that is open on the top side, with your choice of sheet metal or fiberglass, and stick a mating flange surface along the open top side that matches up to the rubber seal under the scoop area of the T2 hood. Tip - borrow a T2 IC to use as a template. To locate the box and keep it in the right placement with the hood closed, you can fabricate AL bracket(s) to rigidly mount the box to one or more of the unused threaded holes on the keg that were once used for the vacuum plumbing.
