   you need to be a bit more specific with your question mate, do you want a cone style air filter made for your car..
   
   A enclosed system like the BMC or raceland
   
   
   Some heap of shit you cna just bolt on
   
   something like this
   
   
   Or do you just wanna get a etty picture frame nock it out and glue a sponge inside it to replace your panel filter..
   Don'T expect a good response when you want to make a "air filter for a laugh.."

    on a more serious note, you could always buy a cheap universal one, and get some thin aluminium to make it so that the filter is enclosed or use it as a heat shield. but i dont think you can make one out of household objects. Tights over the TB? lol

    seriously now, tbh i doubt 'homemade' piping wouldnt do the trick as you wil have to sort out the connection from one end to the other, may aswell leave it standard unless you want to fork out for a decent one.

    Okay, on a serious note i did some testing this morning,
    
    Vtec induction kit progress thread
    
    Step one
    Tools needed
    a rubber band 3 toilet roll tubes a berol fine liner and a andrex roll
    
    Step two
    Branding
    Take your berol fine liner and brand your filter, don't worry if you make a mistake its easy to tear a sheet off and start again.
    
    
    Step three
    Assembly
    Take your filter and insert one of your tubes, make sure that its tight.
    
    
    Repeat this step until you reach the length needed
    
    Three did the job for me.
    Now your finally there, take a minuet to feel proud of your creation.
    
    The final product.
    
    Step four, final stage
    Installation
    For this i used three more toilet roll tubes and a rubber band
    Take a toilet roll tube and the rubber band, double the rubber band up with your fingers and place over tube, the squeeze over your throttle body, take your finished induction kit and mount it in engine bay, i used a wire coat hanger for support, take two more tubes and form a U bend from the throttle body tube to the induction kit
    Should look something like this
    
    Now, take your car out for a good thrash to bed it in and enjoy the awesome throttle response and sound
