Airbox with window

[AnOutsider]

Alright, seems a lot of us are going with either Evoms or PPI's intake, but we have no way to show it off! The only option I see is the PPI airbox for a whopping 4.5k, but even that seems to be a pipe dream as PPI doesn't seem to want to sell them

So, how hard would it be for someone with the shop to do so, to cut some holes in a stock airbox and put some plexiglass or something in place? I bet if we could get enough orders we could convince a shop to do it?

Count me in.

I would be in but considering that would mean losing the use of my car while it's being done I would rather wait till I put away in Winter. For now I think I will just paste some pictures of the Filters on the top of the box

I would hope it would only take a day or two. I can look for a fabricator here in L.A.. How many of you are in?

Not necessarily. For the price it would cost to buy it from PPI, you could probably source a new airbox and still have the original to revert to stock if need-be

I would imagine there is quite a high vacuum inside the air box when the throttle is open. How would you envisage securing the 'windows' into the plastic of the box?

I'm no fabricator, so I have no idea -- just thought it would be something worth pursuing

There's probably zero vacuum, rather pressure at high speeds. With plexiglass on inside of lid it would be sealed even better. I will find the right materials to use before proceeding. Tempered glass might be the ticket and a full length window might be nicer than the two small windows. Don't let PPI try to sell us a complete box as we only neede the LID. I forgot how much just the lid costs. It's carbon fiber of course.

If you are sitting still and blip the throttle there will be a vacuum. There may be pressure at high speed especially with a closed throttle.

Either way the window will need to be sealed well against being sucked in or pushed out.

I think it can be done. Anyone ever see PPI lid up close? How are windows attached? Looks like aluminum trim around plastic windows in PPI picture.....
