its been talked about.. i have yet to see a homemade aluminum airbox.. good luck if you do make one post some pics.. im sure someone here will give you the dimensions..
i was lookin at the cfm ones and was thing bout tryin to mske one.i was thinkin make the box part and then use the stock boot for it.i might try this if someone will pm me the deminsions one.
interested to see :]I am not going to run an air box, but I am working on a custom filter set-up for the 28mm OKO carb we are going to be running. I'll post picks in a few weeks when I get everything set up. I'm still in the planning phase and flotek has the top end.

i have the same idea as you make it out of sheet metal aluminum
^^^^^yep.i was gonna fold the sides and at 90 degree angle and make it like a long tab.you could rivet it all together.that was i was gonna do cuz have no welder.and use a clear silicone to seal the seams inbetween the piece of metal the rivet it.or i just thought about it you could bolt it together with some new nice shiny allen bolts and nuts
post and pm me the demensions please thatw ay people whole also wanna try can see them and we will have them first hand erither one works
no you can rivet it together or you can bolt it togther.i would suggest doing a nice seal job with some clear silicone r somethin.
it could be welded but welding aluminum is a pain in the ass... Especially thin sheets like you would use to make the box.
just measured mine for ya, it's 6 1/2"wide x 9" long, and 6 1/2" deep, i considered making one too, before i got a great deal on this one, just like you said, bend, leave corner tabs, and rivet, then seal with silicon, and i was gonna use 2" pvc electrical conduit for the tube, being an electrician for years, i've bent many a pieces of that, just take your time with a torch, keeping it moving so i dont burn it in one spot, till it gets all rubberry, have a template to hold it on the floor to, till you get the right angles to make it around the shock, and then hit it with a wet rag to cool it in the shape you need, then epoxy or quick steel it into the box, it needs to stick in about an inch, so the pod style filter can clamp to it, the uni i just got says for 2 1/4 - 2 1/2" tubes
hope that helps ya, post up some pics if ya get 'er done

rejetting, only if going from a stock to a k&n or uni, if you already have one of those, then you should have went up one size already, possibly jump one more for the added flow of the box, i was already jetted too rich when i added mine, so i didnt, and i really didnt see much gain, but had to use one cause my stock box was rubbing a hole in my 450r resivour, and it moved back far enuf that it left room for my new rear hydro rezi too, heres few pics of how it looks
