DIY using factory box for intake setup
You will need
mushroom style pod filter
flexible ducting
hose clamps
longer bolts x4
pod filter adapter plate
90 deg silicone elbows x2
intake pipe
First of all remove factory intake piping (if you want to change this also)
Remove factory air feed (from bumper up to airbox) including small restrictive elbow that goes from bottom of box to the hole that original air feed leads to
Once box is removed remove Air flow meter from box also
Here is how it will all go together (exploded view)

Finally clamp pod filter to adaptor plate and thats that part done.
For the piping from Air flow meter to Throttle body you can see how I used the 90 deg elbows and some piping (all 3 inch diametre)
[/img]
This does cause a small issue with breather from rear rocker cover so you can either drill a hole in intake piping to run a hose between the two or I just used a breather filter like so

Next is the cold air feed to bumper.
I used a flexi pipe brought from autobarn etc and ran it directly from bumper to air box (where had already removed small elbow and original air feed)

Now put it all together the filter will fit but I cant be sure other cone style ones will.
And dont forget to put a couple of drainage holes in cold air feed to help remove water just incase as water+motor=bad
Left out pic of pod clamped to unit

that is awesome vipfto, very resourceful, at first i thought you didnt use the other half of the box.
just gotta figure out how this is going to work with a gpx aka no airflow sensor.. maybe 2 adapters back to back...

one question though, i have the pre-facelift front bar, where do you reckon would be the best place to position the pipe?

Thanks to VipFTO..here is my final result
Got a Drift pod filter and a monza air breather..
I got the monza pipes for 10$ each(it was on sale about few mths ago) and the monza breather for 12$. They seem a bit too long for the space and hence the crazy bend. Will trim them a bit to get a nice flow.
Cheers,
Rj
