He could use that setup if he made his own DIY carbon filter I believe. you can make them a straight shot, instead of the circular variety where air enters through the sides like you said, but the downside to that method is you don't get nearly the amount of surface area of activated carbon to pull through. This would effectively be less efficient, unless you built one big flat horizontal plane to pull the air through.
I'm not 100% sure on that but I'm pretty sure I have seen it done. Personally I would have the CF either on top of the cab in a home made filter box, Or if you are getting a reflector with a glass shield and duct flanges (bling bling), I would set it up like Harryscrotum and Code Man, but I would still build my own filter, as they are NOT CHEAP. I think the least you can expect to pay for a very small CF would be ~$75... If I were you, I would make my own!
I hope this helps
-------------------- Don't criticize what you can't understand
Also you cause way more static pressure in the 'inline' concept.. Though I've always liked the idea.
I still think you should consider the actual space you'll be working with, and build your cab around that. Taking into consideration where your actual exhaust is going to go after it leaves your cab. unless it's just going to be in a large room or something...
