On further review I think he is saying to wedge the filter against the edge of the front box holding the filter in place in the back side of the rear box.
A whole lot of heat, possible mass dirt entry, and a total RICE, half assed way to make lots of noise.

Heads $25 each

PVC $10

^The porting thing is fake though...after reading the entire thread it came out that the story has been floating around forums for years. Still funny as hell though.

clair to explain this comment? You're saying that dealerships move our air filters?
"when they trash ur car"? What's that supposed to mean?
