unfortunately photo links not working, I will fix this on the weekend.
Your setup looks good, however, it has few fundamental problems,
I would like to critisize it friendly because I think I am an expert when it comes to CAI and temp in it.
I have 4 temp sensors under the bonnet(in CAI, firewall, radiator, before TB, ) as well as outside weather temp.
I am actually obsessed with temp under bonnet.
Issues I see below;
Issue 1) ARC is sealed. I never liked the idea of a sealed box. This is because if something goes in to the box it cant get out, may cause blockage or even worst can damage your engine big time. For eg water. If you add CAI down pipe to your setup you will be in high risk area if it rains or if suddenly you go pass a large patch of water. When going fast you are unlikly to see the patch of water on the ground, imagine that water is rushing through the down pipe 100 kms/hour, if it cant get out of mid sized gap before the filter, it will go through the filter.
Another eg is bugs, especially in the summer months. Once I was driving on highway, there were few lotus around. When I pulled over to get some petrol, I checked the CAI box, it was full, seriuously full of lotus to the height of the outlet gap. Obviosly because of the small outlet gap in my CAI, most of the bugs were escaping from there due to pressurised air. This was also stopping the filter getting blocked.
All you need is a small gap(5-6 cm2) at the bottom part of the CAI, so stuff can get out.
Issue2) You have 10 C differerence already in the CAI compared to outside. This is bit too much in my opinion for CAI. Because the air will also heat up more in the very warm intake pipe after the CAI, by the time it comes to TB, it wont call CAI setup anymore.
You need to drop the temp difference between outside and CAI to max of 2-5 C.
Issue 3) As mentioned before, your intake pipe to TB gets very hot. You need to insulate it. Otherwise it will heat up so quick. Roughly add another 8-10 C for this, if not insulated enough.
Issue 4) You might think about closing the outside box fully. Bonnet will not stop the hot air going through around the CAI box. If your CAI have a outlet gap, it might fix this issue, because access cold air from CAI will form a shield around the outside, between two boxes.
My god I can write when it comes to temp and CAI.

which has to be good for intake temps
