I think it should also be noted that on the highway, your not driving at the top rpm of the motor, so say 2k rpm or 2500, somewhere in that area. The amount of air by volume required probably wouldn't be as much as imagined, and the motor should still have plenty of grunt to suck the air into the intake even with a low pressure behind the snorkel.
Also, there is science involved that may suggest that the air directly behind the snorkel head might just be "standing still" as compared to the speed of the air moving around it. Same concept with drafting on a race track or wingtip vortices on a plane
I think there would be a slight performance boost by having it forward making it similar to some sort of "cowl induction" but I would imagine the difference to be negligible at best
