Is that the Helix intake or a custom diy? I know their intake requires you to switch the front DV to a AWE style BOV filter. You may be out of luck with the tall Helix BOVs though.

BOV is metal? Intake is rubber or plastic? It might scratch it.. that's about it.

With your set up, you are sucking the hot air from the top of the hood and the engine can lose power.
