Well, on Advance Auto Parts, I got an AEM dryflow filter, and it was only $35! I went to home depot and got PVC, but I might leave it as is. I dont want to take the HEMI box out, its not that restrictive, and I like the way it looks.

I can't ever fault someone for making a mod themselves. I've made quite a few from CAIs to light bars to sill plates, winch mounts, winch covers, etc.
But the thing I always strive for is to make them NOT look like they are home made. That kinda looks "home made".

But hell, if it works...

I think thats looks okay, and Im sure its less restrictive, but the stock box probably delivered colder air.

How does it sound compared to stock?
