i know this isn't exactly the answer to your question, but what i would suggest is a panel filter with a CAI
So instead of replacing the stock piping, i woud get a K&N panel filter for the stock box, and from there custom make some piping to lead from the bottom of the air filter box to the bottom/front of the car. If you do the piping right and there is no air leaks anywhere along the way, you should notice a nice increase to response.

he's already got the pod so i don't think he'll want to go spend more on a panel etc.
the easiest thing you can do is get an adaptor for the AFM (Supercheap has them, don't know about autobarn or others) and run piping from the afm to where the resonator box used to live behind the front bumper and locate your pod there. i'm not sure if you have to enclose it as its pretty much outside the engine bay. stainless steel is probably the best option, stainless wrapped with heat proof tape is better again (keeps it nice and chilly). replacing the plastic corrugated piping from afm to the throttle body would also be a good idea

from memory the resonator box has 3 screws and you can actually remove 2 with the bumper on. its getting the box out and the last screw thats annoying.

Sorry to make an aside, but what are insurance implications when pulling this off? Whether it's a pod filter + CAI or the favorite panel + CAI?
I've got a BAv6, and haven't looked properly but I don't see any place to feed the air in from the front as the fogs are blocking? |

if you have a hardtop you have a air intake hole to the right of the fog light hole, plus there should be room for air around the light. if you're desparate for more, remove the light and drawing straight in
