There's that Arron fella who broke his car for parts recently, he went through 3 mafs in under two years with a K&N panel filter, kept it properly oiled etc, but still killed them.
That link looks ok, but it doesn't seem to include a filter and says it "forces air into the engine bay"... Quite why they want to force cold air into the 'bay rather than the engine itself is beyond me, which doesn't matter anyway because it's nonsense - it works exactly the same as your standard airbox. The only difference is size, weight and cost of decent replacement filters: decent standard filter - £8; decent aftermarket filter to similar flow and filtering specifications that can fit inside that tube - £... well i don't know and cba to find out, but you can be bet it's going to be more than £8 lol.
Up to you at the end of the day mate, but when it comes down to the bottom line - bang for buck there's a ton of other mods that'll give you a better return on your money than something like this.
