The wire harness to the mass air flow sensor is probably not long enough to
allow much movement, and I never recommend cutting factory harnesses because
they are so expensive to replace. The sensor should be after the filter
because it has to measure the air actually getting into the intake and you
don't want it subjected to any debris that enters the intake. Bottom line,
whatever you rig should not disturb the current location of the MAF.

That would work although it seems like a lot of trouble.
