Show me your n/a intake!
I'd like to see what you other n/a guys have fabricated (or, I suppose, purchased) in the interest of sucking more (hopefully cool/cold) air!
I have two stock airboxes right now, one of which has been cut up, as was a common mod in the late 80/early 90s, though I doubt it was cut to increase airflow as best as possible. I'm looking to make something (probably involving a heat-shielded cold air box and large cone filter) to increase my air intake, and hopefully suck in air at a lower temperature.
So, show me what you have and tell me whether you would reccomend it!

search for CAI or cold air intake.
Do not purchase the Apex-i unit ( I have this one but costs too much imo)
Some don't recommend the HKS foam ones because, apparently, the foam breaks off and is sucked in (i never had a problem with it on my TII and I washed it regularly and FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS and MADE sure it wasn't damaged by the water stream or air jets of any kind)
a filter is a filter and you could probably be ok with a cheap Ebay filter. (some might not agree but think about it, what is the purpose of the filter?? why pay 100+ for something that can be had for >$20?)
Look at Titostoy's pics for the proper way to make a Cold air box.
SEARCH!!

with regards to Titostoy:
Cool! How do you like it? and is it sucking all its air through the vent in the heatlight, and a bit from the front of the hood? where do I ideally want to suck air from? How much of a performance increase did you notice over stock? and finally, who makes your front strut support bar, how much did it cost, and would you reccomend it?
Phoenix7, thanks for your input; I know your opinion can be trusted.
I've been eying several cheap ebay filters and adaptors, and will probably purchase the biggest ebay cone filter I can find and make an airbox like Titostoy's.

Jager-
reeeeeeally? pics? how much, shipped to 43085? how would I set it up in my car, etc? Will I be able to attach any 3" filter with adaptor?
Any info you could provide would be helpful.
I was looking into making my own, but if it's inexpensive and easy enough to purchase, I may very well be interested.
