I was thinking of putting a mesh at the entrance for that reason and placing the opening, behind my lower grille where my licence plate is currently.
Also, would it possible to pipe in another by the tranny under the airbox? Useful?

It would allow some cooler air yes, but the ramming effect would be nonexistant because any increase in air pressure would just escape out through the outer air filter rather than being forced into the engine.
If it was a closed element like the stock SVT intake then it might work, but I doubt it would be noticable. I tried this once on my probe and used the same flexible dryer vent tubing. The only time I noticed an improvement was when driving in slow moving traffic since my engine was getting outside air rather than the hot air under the hood.
You will however notice all kinds of crap in your air filter though, (bugs, dust, whatever you've driven though) take the hose off after a week and see what you've collected.
If there is no ram air effect then why is it that I have stalling issues at high speeds? This is when the clutch is engadged and I have my intake hose sitting in a position to take on air?.

then you've got other issues, all air entering the engine should be measured, weather its "rammed" or not.

Yeah that's what it sounds like to me. I have a large open air filter damn near hitting the ground and no stalling issues at high speed. There has to be some small ram effect....maybe.

Meaning that all air that flows into the engine is measured by the MAF, so that the computer can tell how much fuel to add to create the correct air/fuel ratio etc..etc...etc...
