   Something like this would do the trick..

   When I had my std airbox on, I took the resonator box off.. so I had 2 holes in the airbox.. OEM air feed to the top one, cold air feed to the bottom one.. gave a nice roar for a STD airbox.

   i used the airfeed pipe off a derv escort van lol. it has a big enough bore to fit over the hole in the bottom of the standard airbox and its long enough to fit in behind the p/s headlight. cost me a fiver from the scrappys

    It's just some Samco hosing with a hollow alloy pipe, think it's from eBay and/or DemonTweeks.
    Yeah K&N panel filter in aswell, definitely works well! The standard feed is terrible tbh.
