x2. It will pick up a lot of heat with that routing.

Your logic is sound, but I'd highy recommend adding a FMIC to further cool the air. The air in the "cold-side" will already be hot from compression. Running next to the exhaust for what appears to be 3' of tubing will exponentially compound this.

Great job on creating your own system though
