List of parts:

Kuwaiti shop vac hose
High temp RTV
4' PVC
1 bracket for hanging $hit in the garage (cut in half to use as the mounts)
Folgers plastic coffee can
Can from Never-Dull
One piece of old fuel line
random nuts and bolts
Black spray paint

Description:

I used the coffee can to seal up the air box and, just to be safe, I bolted the edges so that the pieces wouldn't pull away from the rtv and get sucked in. I used the Never-Dull can to protect the intake from rain and flying mud. I also used the fuel line to protect the hose from the jagged edge of the metal on the cowl. The whole project took about 4 hours, including the engineering. I tested the seals by covering the intake before I put the cover on it, and by sealing it with my hand I was able to kill the engine. If you're wondering about power loss, I didn't notice any difference. It runs great. Though, when I get on the gas, if the window is down I can hear it howling just a little. (Sounds kinda cool!)
