I made it my self.
I started out with a SLP performance CAI box, made a new flat top out of stainless steal, cut the rectangle opening, then picked up a square block of semi-hard foam and cut out the rectangle, glued it on and painted it black, as far as the hood side I found a rubber seal at a Hardware store that was a perfect fit.

Eric, I think the simplest way would be like you described yesterday, to the stock location, sealed off and turned down. I dont know if the hood is going to do a whole lot for the intake the way it is, but I'm sure it'll at least be good at getting some cool air across that heat-sink intake manifold

That's probably the cleanest "ram air" setup I've seen. Should help feed the maggie under the hood
