So long as I cut it right, it should be airtight (or easily fixed to make it so), connect perfectly to the OEM intake tube, take advantage of the OEM heat shielding as planned, and work almost identically to how I had originally envisioned the final version.

Moreover, it will allow me to recess the bellmouth further back, which may allow me to use OEM panel filter frame or at least minimize the likelihood of inadvertently losing part of the effective volume of the box because the v-stack protrudes too far.

More on this soon -- I may need a fresh set of airboxes... anyone willing to sell them to me on the cheap in the name of experimentation and adventure?
