What's the absolute cheapest way to build a better intake up to the throttle body, just pvc and a dry cone filter?

I have monsoons down here.,,.plus I have no drl housings. I have yet to have a issue. The filter is even with the headlight.

Here's some old pics from when I had stock maf and TB. The black piece that seals the filter and air filter is roof flashing from home depot

how necessary is it to block off from the engine. the few runs i've datalogged show iat to be within a few degrees of outside temp. that's with a stock box hacked a little.

With no DRL housing, how do you run turn signals (if at all)? Thanks!

I am an authorized dealer for one of the best cold air intakes there is out there, by Cold Air Inductions, Inc. They have enclosed, insulated air boxes to keep out engine bay heat, ceramic coated intake tubes to reduce/eliminate heat soak, etc. You can check it out here http://cai.diablewtune.com and just select your vehicle from the drop-down list to get the info/details about the model for your vehicle. You can also click on the picture to get a popup of additional pictures of it that you can go through.

I have used their intakes for 9+ years on my own vehicles (2006 Monte SS, 2014 Camaro SS, 2012 Sierra, etc), and their build quality is 2nd to none.. their products always fit like a glove, and it's not cheap plastic stuff like others are... Like them so much, that I decided to become a dealer for them a few years ago..
