Blocking out the upper horizontal screen (middle of that area) is gonna be very bad for total flow rate...
Ya that is what I was writing while you were doing pretty much the same.
Cramming a square filter into an oval tube that tapers in immediately after the box ends isn't giving a pile of clear flow around those sides either.
