    Default 2 x OEM airbox

    Wanting to mod stock airboxes; there's a reason I want two - So I can destroy one if necessary or desired during mockup.
    Intention is to route cold air to a modified OEM intake.
    Anyone got stock airbox they have no intention of keeping?

    Well you can't have mine, but I'm interested to hear/read what you're planning

    A fair price?

    The plan is ducted cold air through a water trap to prevent water ingress, then ducted to the OEM box, which would be opened up somewhat....keeping some secrets for now, though
    It wouldn't be much different to just cutting holes in terms of airflow, but I would be trying to engineer in sympathy with some sound resonance properties that mazda gave the stock box.

    I've got one you can have, under 1 condition, I get it back when you are finished. (I only want the MAF sensor part back undamaged)
