Use $30 to finish up your BFI and make it solid, then get some Taco bell with the other $13

You've already gone through the trouble of cutting up the air box, why not go all the way and finish it?

All have valid points. I would make it out of abs plastic or use aluminum as i did. The bfi has proven to increase throttle response and a little on the gas mpg increase.

Yea the foil has to go man, looks like you hiding a 6pack in that cooler
I have kn filter drop in type and looking to do bfi as well, but out of plastic or composite, there is a post flying around here, where someone drilled 3 holes and installed a 3 baffle like couplers looked very clean!

Would replacing the air box with one of those cold air intake type cone filters be just as good as the BFI?

the foil does refllect more heat than a piece of plastic though
