Good spot for a custom intake?

I want to make a custom intake where the filter goes down into the area shown in the pics below. Do you think that would be a good spot (well it's actually the only spot) to put the filter down in there? Will there be too much heat soak in the summer time? I plan on having the piping go to the left of the battery and down into that space. Kind of where the piping for the stock intake scoop was. Thanks for your input.

that probably isn't the optimal location since it would sit behind the radiator. The CAI sits in the fenderwell, so it gets cold air outside the engine bay.

Yeah, I didn't know if the radiator would produce hot air or not.

Yeap, only way seems to be to get out that drill and START DRILLING a 3.5" hole in the inside fenderwall.
