I just feel like there's a reason why no one has done this before.

The path of least resistance would be into the cylinder that's pulling a vacuum. The reason it hasn't been done is because the stock snorkel is perfectly adequate for the motor's level of horsepower, if not a little bit more. But people are convinced that the resonators somehow "choke" the motor...sometimes engineering solutions aren't "pretty", but they do the job.
