Ive read very many informative threads on this procedure but havent came to one where the pics show (Red X's) due to the thread being older, does anyone have any pics of what it looks like or DIY? Thanks!

No problem.

I really like this mod, but was thinking that it's possible to improve upon it even more by creating a smoother path of air into the intake hole section. If you look at the snorkel tube, it has a curved trumpet at the end, which I assume acts like a venturi to suck air in faster. I was thinking of maybe fabricating a trumpet to fit into the hole back there and also dremeling out the honey comb plastic surrounding the hole to a smooth finish, so as to further smooth out the airflow. Anyone try this before?

Spend a couple bucks and get an Evo Hi-Flo and remove the whole factory air box. Best bang for the buck and incredible induction sound. Couple it with secondary cat bypass pipes; you've got music and a Boxster that sounds like a Porsche.

Thanks. I was thinking about the Evo too, but have read a lot about possible CEL/MAF issues if you over oil the filter, as well as it not being a true sealed off system as the stock intake is (it's open at the top, right?). I'm sure it does sound awesome though.
