As a WAI? Under the hood I would have too much concern for flammability to use cardboard. And I've never seen flexible cardboard tubing, or any other cardboard structure for that matter, that would allow me to extend the air intake so that it pulls air from behind the motor (where the exhaust header is).

Maybe that's not what you meant though...
