It would be a pipe made in 2 halves, each semi-circle would have a flat bit coming off the side so that you could bolt the 2 sides of the pipe together (if that makes sense to you ;p )
Sounds interesting, as long as it won't leak....... so the pipe & the box would cost around???
Now is time for some design or photoshop pics eheheheh

shue, that was a quick calculation that includes approx prices off:
CF airbox ~$200
K&N pod filter ~$115
intake pipe and other pipes going to the airbox ~$ 100
happy days =D
prob need to add another $50 for all the extra bits and pieces like clamps, rubber sleeves etc.
but its not too expensive and its an awsome result!
EDIT: ooer, i forgot the other $70 for the mini pod for the breather
make it a rough max of $600

i'm sure you could squeeze it down to $500 easily enough!
and it would be as good a setup as anyone will have (other than some of those crazy racing people ;p )
and you really dont need an apexi, K&N are very good filters!

So you basically you contacted the same guy which mikey had a while back.
I guess the price would be the same then.
