I am not like a ricer in any way[:@] LOL. What I did was I bought a drop in K&N air filter then cut a majority of the bottom of the airbox out with a dremel making sure to keep the necessary air filter mounts etc.. Works great. Sounds 10x better at WOT and cost me $40.

Making your own Intake and Tube will most likely throw off the MAF, and either cause your car to run lean, throw a CEL or cause stalls. I would wait till you can afford a proper CAI and Tune. Trust me, it's worth the wait.
