I was happy to get the air box parts in the mail a few months back. After some head scratching, I decided to replace the base with a 6mm thick aluminum plate. Lots of measurements and sketching later I was ready to do some metal cutting. I milled 3mm deep slots for the clips to catch. I found some D shaped 8mm wide sticky back foam insulation on a roll for the box to base plate sealing. I cut off about 10mm off the box lip for more clearance to the strut tower during installation. Searched for 3" tubes, connectors and clamps from Summit Racing. Cut the 45- and 90-degree tubes for correct fit. I found that a little WD40 was perfect for sliding the tubes into the silicon adaptors while making adjustments. Without it they stuck together and refused to move. Later it dries and parts don't slip when clamped. I cut my own Weber to base plate gaskets from cork/rubber sheet. I used a previous filter base plate for a template. Fitting a K&N filter in front was difficult, and I am still looking for the best 3" x 90-degree tight radius tube to allow a bigger filter someday. Just like when I put on AC in November last year when I wouldn't need it. It's December and cold but I'm ready for hot Texas summers now. Thanks to Jon Bils for the air box. It will make for good power on hot days.
