The air in that curved inlet tube has already been metered by the MAF and most tuners use a speed density hybrid tune using the MAP sensor in the manifold past the TB so not sure what his point is.

After looking at the dyno comparisons between the kits and understanding how they both measure airflow and manifold pressure again I don't see anything superior about the routing of the KW kit's charge piping.

Did you know that CSG has measured and logged intake air temperatures to be lower than stock with the JRSC kit? It's not hindering performance in any way having the air filter exposed in the engine bay. Intercooling takes care of all those concerns. The filter gets fresh air through the same opening that the stock airbox snorkel does at speed.

If you're really that worried about it and have money to burn then you can buy what Pure made for the Vortech kit. Should be relatively easy to adapt or put your own together.
