I was wondering how it was done, I thought there would be more to it than that.
There would have to be weatherstripping or some way to seal the cut slot.
Simply slicing the box and putting hinges on it is not a good idea, imo.
You're allowing unfiltered air into the engine.
I'd be curious to see if the restriction of the filter would cause a vacuum across the slot pulling dirty air in bypassing the filter.

i was thinking the same thing....
like the idea tho
maybe rivet a 1" wide aluminum strip along the joint to span the gap......

"Look I made a neat hatch for my air filter"
"Now it's time to clean the MAF, you will find it's pretty dirty"
...
...
Anything can be fixed with enough weather stripping, but I feel like this literally takes longer to implement than the lifetime total of time spent changing air filters.
