Thanks, I made the intake box myself. It works very well with a hose from the front bumper opening feeding it air along with the stock snorkel. I used .040” 6061-T6 aluminum sheet material, with lot’s of sanding, buffing, and polishing for the finished look. I made a couple of jigs out of wood to make the bends. I riveted some aluminum rectangle bar stock to the aluminum sheet and then I drilled & tapped the holes for the bolts that hold the cover on.

I’ve had a number of people contact me to see if I was going to make any more of these boxes. I don’t really have the time right now but I may be making a few for resale in the future.

My super ninja stealthy setup.

ETS Super Value GT30R kit w/ Speed Element custom brackets for the stock exhaust manifold heatshield, custom UICP w/ Tial bov behind bumper, and custom cold air intake. HKS Kansai replica box painted black to cover cold air intake.

AEM EMS, 1000cc injectors, etc etc. lol. The Sun Auto Hyperfoce (blue box) in the engine bay is now black.
