that scares me a bit. i think you would be better served with a K&N filter and a straight pipe in place of the resonator box. those extra bends that you have added will do more harm than good. that dryer hose is likely going to add turbulence. and your filter is going to get absolutely filthy down there. i highly recommend against this modification.

i did my own fabrication with my intake as well but with no mods like that... i simply took off the resonator boxes. cut then ground down the nipples associated with the boxes from the hard piping of the intake and brazed new patch pieces onto the intake then pressure checked it to make sure there were no leaks. now i have straight air from the filter into the engine. i also installed a cold air intake which was cheap off of ebay a BomZ will do you fine with their cone filter they supply, throttle response is about 4 times greater with a mod like that. plus like everyone said some grit and water from the road will lead to disaster in the end
