Might as well got but those flexible tub thingy, connect to filter on throttle body, remove that air box or silencer as you call it, run it following the path of the air box, then down behind the right front end of bumber.. add a grill to the end of the tubing, zip tie it in place instant ram air!!

Maybe it would prove better for ppl who wish to learn parts of our cars to read all the DIY's on the site.... it would really help out newbies a lot, plus teach anyone how stuff works too.

just my $.02
