BYProvider, since no one seems to want to answer you, I think I may try. That airbox seems to be the one that comes with something like the few CAIs made for the Boxster. It may very well not be, but that's the first thing that comes to mind for me. Hopefully whoever posted the picture will divulge their source if it isn't a custom part.

I believe the air filter box is sold by these guys:
Gemballa USA

I used to make similar air boxes back in my mitsu eclipse tuning days. I invented the original kabob skewer contour guide.

I got it my Cold Airbox to work! I am using ONLY Cold Air and the FULL WIDTH of the side air duct!

The problem the 'other designs' seem to suffer from, IMHO is that they are taking hot air from the top of the engine bay…where it's the hotter than anywhere (due to heat rising). My Stage 2 design suffered horribly from this dilemma. HOT air = BAD, COLD air = GOOD.

This new design (Stage3) employs a simple 'inverted' cone that is inverse of the Cone Air FIlter. Thereby creating an 'air space' the engine can gulp air from. The Stage3 is held in place by the 'friction seal' against the firewall (I will revise this and make tabs to mount). The ONLY SOURCE for air is the 3"X 5" duct - and it uses the WHOLE thing!

Here is a shot of the engine cavity mold, with the Cold Air Intake mold in place.


Here the airbox is sealing out all the hot air (except this post). Yes, that is duct tape, Needed for this prototype but not used in production.


Here airbox is connected to the 4" silicone tubing.


How the airbox seals up against the firewall.


Here is it in place with NO GAP at the firewall.


TDK, you were right! It makes a HUGE difference between taking "engine warmed air" and the cold air our cars were destined to run on.

This is the third revision of the original design. There will be another that will have "rabbit ears" on it to mount in the engine bay. This is by far the largest air filter that will fit under the hood. It can take a HUGE GULP of air, with fewer restrictions than the factory. Inspired by watching Eric523!

If anyone is interested…I have a mold to make more!

HB; Looks great and trully is a REAL cold air intake!!!!!!

question, Why not give more room between the filter and the engine? Meaning the side of the airbox closest to the engine does not allow a lot of room between filter and airbox wall. wouldnt increasing that gap give the filter potentially more "gulping?" cause as of now you might as well have half a cone since the half in question is trying to suck the airbox wall?

I really hope you understand wtf im trying to say hahah
