well when your on a paid vacation you get bored (well i do anyhow) so i took a look at that 6th gen airbox and tried to comprehend on how to do the DIY icebox well, NO DICE on them w/o a few minor modifications so i put my peanut brain to work and found a way so here it is & its also a sort of DIY spoon elbow at the same time BTW: if ONE person mentions the green dont' worry i already know
Parts NEEDED :
6th gen upper box portion (obviously)
any cheepo SRI
Tools NEEDED :
Dremel
Hacksaw
Rubber mallet
screw driver (gotta get technical )
STEP #1:
first take your dremel and make some starter spots for the hack saw, and cut out the portion that i will have picutured below
STEP #2:
now take a tape measure and measure from halfway inside of the rubber piece that will connect to the lid of the airbox (can't miss it only rubber piece there ) all the way to the end of the throttle body, now take that measurement and your going to cut your SRI at an angle w/ the low side of the angle pointing towards the passenger fender like this / now take the rubber mallet and you want to make it sort of a OBB long pipe now (since the inlet that this is going to go into is obb long also)
STEP #3:
now this is the method that i used but someone may think of a better idea so have at it, now get yourself a self tapping screw and remove the SRI from the car and your going to drive a self tapper into the intake (you'll thank yourself later for starting it first i promise) then remove it and install the intake back on the car & once again halfway through the rubber piece on the box then secure the rubber piece w/ the self tapper.
STEP #4:
for the RAM air portion of this you can get that at any hardware store, your going to need to measure about how much you'll need for where ever your going to place the ram air tube, & on the 6th gen box you should be able to get a tube w/ an OD that you can just clamp it down, if not you may have to cut the bottom part of the box, now simply aquire this and run it in a way you so desire
here is my outcome (which i'm pretty pleased w/ for my first DIY) & if anyone has some other suggestions please throw em out there as far as intake sound, its not nearly as loud as the SRI but still noticeable
