I would also use the standard airbox with an XH snorkle. Will look neat and get plenty of cool air. Most other attempts I have seen to shield a pod end up looking fairly rough.
Can you still hear the cool sound of the rampod if it is inside an air box. I need to hear that growl at hard acceleration!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just love looking at my engine bay now, no more big ugly tennis raquet. The CFI setup gave me the shits every time I lifted the bonnet, especially at the servo on thursday night(hoon night where I live).
Id say make up some kind of shield out aluminium to try and stop some of the heat getting to the filter and run a XH snorkle, i wouldnt bother with any other type of CAI, u'd be surprised how much air gets through behind the headlight!
Yeah they'd have to be but he was after ideas etc.. to I'd personally coat it with a reflective heat mat to keep it out & make it a bit bigger!
Nah stuff it I'd just throw in the airbox & got through the bottom of it & the steel under it like I did with my old ef!

yep like that would be great! I had mine under the same without the hoses on my ef it just rammed the air in though the front bumper & with no water hassles! In the end I think I had removed something like 9square inces under the airbox & reiforced it with 3mm cross mesh then just removed the bottom of the airbox & glued in alloy body mesh to keep the big stuff out!
Worked like a charm & locked totally stock with the K&N panel inside hiding everything!
Went like a rocket after this & saved 2+ltrs per 100km on average!
Thanks for the idea's guys. I might try a few different things this weekend. If I get anything done, I'll post some pics.
Cheers Luke.
