Seems like a lot of needless work.

Not to knock, NOSNAAB, but have you thought about this? Once you've mastered removing the present filter, you can do it again - - in 100,000 more miles or maybe even much longer. Toughest part for me was that Torx screw holding the band that clamps it up in there - - used long extensions, a breaker bar, then tapped on the end of the breaker bar at same time as I twisted.
The hex flats on the ends of the filter can can fit a wrench, or else grab and lock on tight with 10" Vise Grips, then just a wrench on the banjo bolt. And this was on a car with so much rust on banjo fittings and banjo bolt head that it was a size smaller than original. Screw threads, washers, sealing surfaces all were bright as new. Just don't strain against the hoses as you push or pull your wrenches. Duck quick out of the way of the gas that will leak from lines and filter; have something on the ground first to soak that up.
Then put never-seize on the threads of that Torx screw before reinstalling it. (None on banjo bolts, natch.)
I don't want to think of all the work of finding a way to join your two banjo ends together or splicing the lines together at the former filter location, or the work of splicing said fittings into the line under the hood, then, making sure filter sits in a location that is safe, secure and easy to access and doesn't stress the lines.
I think I'm getting a headache, better go do something easy.
