it's my understanding, very limited admittedly, that a longer intake run helps lower end torque. no?
OEM's have longish intake manifolds for just that purpose, but without having to extend pieces beyond the body lines. How about curving the intake stacks toward the middle into a single ITG-type filter (sideways orientation)? That would look neat as well as accomplish your objective.

OTOH, short intake paths provide more power at the high end. Thus, various OEM's have their versions of a manifold with variable length intake paths.
