I had that exact Ractive filter on my 99 Accord V6. It was the worst filter ever. I had to change my AEM filter on my CAI so I got one of these because it looked like it would keep the filter a little cleaner and it did do that but it rusted up completely in less than 2 months. The screen over the filter, the entire housing was completely rusted. It is poop. And I just can't see myself not using the $85.00 Apexi filter that took me 4 months to find in stock. Plus it is the best filter on the market.

Now that I know what exactly you were talking about I think my original idea about the Ford conical style air box will actually work. The Apexi filter will fit inside perfectly, with just a little modding, and there is already an oulet at the end of it to attatch a tube to run into the firewall. I'm going to try and find a picture of one.
