    Go to home depot or lowes and scout the PVC section and get some ideas. Easiest would be sticking with the stock box with a drop in filter and PVC pipe to the TB.

    I'm currently in the process of making mine. I'll do a build thread for you. For starters I have a stainless piece of 4" bent from a muffler shop to get the basic geometry. Next I shopped around for a few hi-temp silicon 45's and 90's to route it where I want. I'm using header wrap and sealer with two layers of header wrap to insulate the pipe. For connecting the fittings to the pipe, use the recommended stainless/nickel straps that are sold with the silicon fittings. Note: the hi-temp silicon fittings are those that may be found at VatoZone or most autoparts stores where ricers stack up their Bling.

    heres the pic

    it works well and whistles like the others ,but it alot cheaper. the pipe is easy to id becuase it has a black lining on the inside and the fittings are thin .
    all you need is a short raduis 90 with a female and male end, a 45and about 3ft of pipe . this will set you back about $15 good luck.

    I just cut the resonators off of the oem pipe and welded the plastic back together with a soldering iron to make mine. Some sanding, filler and paint made it look good.
