Exactly, cut the bottom off of that elbow, and attach a hose to it, then route the hose down to the splash guard, cut out a little of it, and put in a gutter downspout, screw it to the splash guard, then attatch the hose. Now you have a ram-air scoop for those top end runs.

Thanks, guys. I was hoping not to cut off the stock intake elbow in case I need to visit the dealer. Maybe there's something I can rig up to that rectangular opening in the airbox and then to the splash guard for the outside air.

I don't understand why everyone fears the dealer, does he make your payments? Is he on your registration? Christ, it's your car, and making it your car involves making changes to it to customize it. If you follow this same theory, if you add a sub, or an Amp, you could void your warranty too. If you lay over and get your claim denied by the dealer, then you deserve it. You guys mod cars like they're not yours. Flame suit on.......

Since the inlet hose is exposed on the bottom of the car, is there much concern for water or other debris reaching the filter?
Thanks, T

Water weighs more than air so its not likely it would be able to get all the way up the tube and into your intake box. Not to mention the tube goes straight up for about a foot as well.

If you set up the Ghetto box this way you have no worries of this happening. Reason is you have more then one opening to let in air, a total of 3. The front air scoop, the top the the air box as well as the tube goin to the bottom. If for some reason the bottom one got flooded the other two would have to be closed shut in order for a vaccum to be created to allow the water to enter in and hydrolock the engine. (that sucks, ive seen it sooo many times )

Before anyone else here does the GAB you may want to see my new twist on this. Early last year when I got my car I came very close to doing this exact same thing but I decided I didn't want to cut any of the OEM parts. Lately I have been swapping intakes back and fourth because of trips to the dealer for warranty work. I really love the sleeper look and the quietness of the stock airbox but I too want my 10hp back.
Today I came up with an idea that is very cheap and even more simple than cutting the filter assembly. And it is likely to be alot more quiet too. It should easily get back the missing 10hp and not bother the service department (because in most cases they'll never even notice).
Stay tuned....
