The way my intake is designed, it looks like a CAI getting it's air at the front just under the hood.
The part pointing forward is just held with 2 screws and is slid in the intake duct. I figured out it would be ridiculously easy to make a WAI, so I'll give it a shot later this week.
Eventually I plan to get rid of the ribbed ducting past the MAF and delete the resonnator too to get better flow in the piping, but that'll probably wait till the warranty is over as it would not be as easy to revert back to stock compared to a WAI.
