what you mean its a low air area?

your actual regular filter connects to the intake manny, box->plastic tubing connecting them->intake manny

cold air is replacing the filter with usually a cone'd filter and the plastic tubing with a metal tubing.

its low air flow area meaning in the box is the end of a scoop that is hidden some were on the front of the vehicle


long story short if you mount your filter on the throttle body your engine might not get enough air and it might run weaker

and you dont mount your intake system on the intake manifold unless its a diesel you mount it on the throttle body

yes i know the boxes usually run in front of your wheel wells and correction my mix up. the intake will be secured to the throttle body which is bolted onto the intake manny.
butttt here, your setups gona prolly look alot diff but this is a simple one;

if you get the right kind of parts it should go in the same spot for the same affect on the engine or some were under the bumper

all im saying is you wont get as much air to your engine as you would if it was in a different spot
basicly the filter placement isnt random they do it for preformance
