Default home made heat shield/box

well i was sick of looking at my stock airbox so i covered the top with plexi-glass. i got it pretty airtight now and it works better then i thought it would. with the engine idleing i can feel the air sucking thru the front of the box.

got around to making my snorkel today. used 3" rubber elbow to replace the stock snorkel. there's also a piece of pipe going into the wheel well a few inches. then i put my breather filter inside the box to get some vacumm, like the stock setup.
