It's easy man. I bought a cheap one off of eBay. If you're going to be serious about modding your car, go Iceman, otherwise get a cheap one off eBay for like 30-40 bucks. You will have to mod your tube a little bit. First things first, you will need a 90 Degree rubber elbow that fits around the mouth of your intake. I forgot how big it is, but make sure it's thin, you don't want a thick one. The 90 degree allows your tube to tilt down towards your battery. Figure out how much you need to cut off so that it goes straight down and under your battery. No battery relocating and minimal effort

i got a spectre air filter, and spectre collapsable tubing straight from autozone. I removed the battery cover, and battery temp sensor. Then I got a bolt cutter and used it to snap away parts of my batter box till the tube fit. I tucked the temp sensor in around the headlight housing, used the 3.0" to 2.5" adapter that came with the tubing and bam. no more snorkel. i even use an oversized battery.
