Looks exactly like my old MSP CAI, except the MSP is smoked of course. Nice job!

interesting. could you also install some insulation like what is inside the Wizair intake? if so, what would that insulation be called? This could be a fun project.

the lexan is alot more temp proof then the aluminum of the Wizardair, added insulation is most likely not needed

Where did you relocate the computer to? I was going to do a custom CAI in my '99 GT but abandoned the thought after realizing the computer is housed in the airbox....

Check the gaps on your plugs. More than likely one if not a couple of them are probably gapped way to big.

For the top and bottom pieces, are the angles the same for top and bottom against the fender?

Also, what is the angle on the bottom piece that is 3 5/8"?

Great write up dude. I plan to use your dimensions to make this box fairly soon because i happen to have a cone and some lexan sitting in my basement...I was also interested in how you chose to affix the PCM though. I plan to incorporate tie wraps some how... haha

what do you mean water is really bad for these? the K&N filters are washable! As long as you dont soak the filter while youre running the motor, theyre fine wet.
