I can take a pic of what i had to do to mine to make it fit.

On second thought, you could almost fab the entire rig out of empty M-1 cans!!!
A concern would be potentially 'blocking' additional cooling air that is introduced to the e-bay...

Marlon, why half-*** a project that might get you half of one horsepower? Here are a couple of tips.
Add one of these:
With two of these, one for each intake pipe:
And then you might be up to two-thirds of a horsepower!

No change really from my butt dyno.
What is needed are dyno runs with an OBDII data logger to measure the intake temp for the various runs with and without the intake.
I am waiting for my OBD scanner group buy. Then maybe some dyno time?

Or, better yet, just put a dyno in a wind tunnel.

I think this method may work even better, with these modified home ventilation turbines, each driven by a 12v blower motor reversing the rotation, you could, with just a little amount of body work and some internal ducting get more than enough air without interfering with the spoiler operation. Plus Imagine the extra torque it would produce at idle! You could save on having to upgrade to a LWF because the extra torque would have no problem spinning the dual mass FW.
This would bring so much cool air in that you could actually take a duct off the this intake system to blow over the back deck to eliminate the dreaded speaker dust issue: https://rennlist.com/forums/993-forum/370110-speaker-dust-issues.html

Somehow - in a odd way - that system looks pretty darn good
More speed -
more turns -
more flow!
I think the hibachi would fit perfectly on and intercooler deck
