I'd show you a picture of my airbox (cone type filter) but after that alloy TIGd porn photo I'd only embarrass myself

FWIW its usually easier to use a cone filter. I made the airbox out of CF. My first design was just a straight box with a 56mm fuel filler funnel on the side. Attach a 56mm cone filter and voila...
