Frozen water bottle under the air filter, cheap and effective, try it before you go dropping big bucks.

No parts list...Its 4" PVC and the rubber boots you would get on the same isle at home depot....A little primer,paint, and clear, and it ends up looking pretty good. Hell, you could actually get a Y pipe and do one of those dual intake setups like I have seen.

If you get really brave, redirect the filter next to the firewall and patch a tube between a air duct and the air intake box. then run the AC on all the time.
