The intake on the motor faces forward, not backwards. There simply isn't enough room in the engine bay on the Corvette to run ducts backwards to the cowl area. Chevrolet also does not want to run a reverse hood scoop like on the 1969 ZL2 hood found on the Camaro as it reduces aerodynamic efficiency.
Still, you may be on to something. Anything is better than the current setup. Tightness in the engine compartment may necessitate options other than the cowl area.

I mean in the bumper opening; not the grill.

I said that combining this would be sweet but because of the master cylinder it wont fit. But the idea is there. Someone just needs to get the cowl setup and then mod it. But a 1000.00 for an intake that you can only use a couple pieces of would be a little expensive.

That's nice. I wish someone would put a maf adaptor on that one.
