Default Air Intake Shield Idea

These pictures were taken about a week before my recent accident that require the transmission modifications.

I plan to follow up on something like this after I get back from vacations. I am debating on the type of air filter to use. Currently, I have removed my lower air intake bullhorns (I have a new MAF) and once I have the new filter, I will do something like this.

I take garbage can I got at Walmart for about $3 USD and went to work. That filter there was an old filter that I had used and is a clone of the Blitz SUS filter.

I am still thinking about one of those Weapon-R Secret Intake filters, but I may end up getting one of these buy a group called Matrix down here. You just stick the 3 inch wide PVC pipe right on to the front of it and then of course the garbage can goes around it.
