I made this one at work but i had access to a plasma cutter and tig welder. I got most of the materials for free. I have a 14" section of that aluminum tubing if you need it. Shoot me a PM if you want it.

I made this one up a few years ago:



The main pipe is 4" mandrel bent exhaust pipe. Thats a 45* bend PVC pipe connecting the tube to the MAF and filter. Cost about $25 in parts (plus filter).

Made the lid, scoop and used 4" steel for the pipe which is covered in Header wrap and fiberglass. I used 3" pvc for the tow hook scoop.
