Nice pics and write up Dj. It looks like the the intake would suck in a lot of hot engine compartment air are though. I wonder if it actually increases performance? I'm thinking it's more of a "sound" mod like an aftermarket muffler?

well on another forum i found data where they tested a 2.5 stock with just this, as is, and it actually did increase by 6hp.
so i bet w some kind of a shield it will be even better.
but the actual cone filter is right on the intake hole, so its getting a lot of fresh air, pretty much the first thing that it hits as it enters the compartment

Not sure I'll put an intake on my Box... but this DIY write up is, in one word:
NICE!

Nice job!
Where was this guide when I installed my EVO intake on Wednesday night? 
The one difference with the EVO is that you use the stock air tube going to the throttle body. I'm not sure when they made that change, but they did. When I opened my box, I thought they forgot to send me some parts.
Even after unbolting the intake manifold, I still had to break the mounting tabs off to get it out. I didn't want to fight with it for too long so out came the cutters.

but i did it actually pretty quick, just broke off parts of the little tube that the maf was sitting on and it came right out.

Great write up! I'm thinking about doing mine soon as well... and +1 on the heatshield, I think you would loose some power from the heat of the engine. Tupperware FTW! or sheet metal.

well they were all tested without the shield and showed increased power, so im not concerned about that.
but i do think that some more fab work will yield in some more cold air and repell some heat from the engine bay and protect the filter
