Well, I finally got tired of waiting - found one - but the guy wanted $300+ for some plastic that was $260 when it was being produced.
I installed my Volant CAI, debaffled the hood, designed a set of ducts from the nostril openings back to the rectangular opening on the inside of the hood using SolidWorks. Ducts are of a welded light gauge aluminum painted flat black and fit perfectly.
Now the fresh air is ducted straight into the sealed Volant air box. I notice a definite improvement using the Volant over my previous air lid and FTRA. Plus now the car runs cooler as the rad is not blocked by the FTRA duct.
