that's an interesting DIY, i tried to do something similar to a beater 'yota truck that i used to drive. i forgot to take it all off before a smog check so you can imagine what the tech at the local gas station said when he popped the hood.

i've considered going SRI+Cold Air Box, but i'm wondering if it's possible to find sturdier materials with which to construct this kind of stuff. having worked with aluminum dryer hose, i must say that it doesn't necessarily inspire confidence when i think about putting it on my car. also, have you considered insulating the plexiglass? also what is hydrolock potential like? obviously less than a CAI...i guess you can just block off the dryer hose when it's wet.

anyway, neat DIY, it's got the engineering wheels in my head turning...
