I actually haven't seen these when I was looking. It might work, but it will require the hose outlet to be more in the wheel well so that the hose will clear. I would need to do some measurements to see if this would work. Thanks for the link.

The damage to the hose has been pretty minimal, and it still continued to work, but it would be nice to avoid replacing the hose every now and again. The hose is like $100 for 10ft, and these mini scoops are $60 each. Also, the inlet being 2.5'' tall still takes a beating. It is definitely a wear item. I might also try to move my current inlets closer to the wheel.
