Hmm, looks like a small plastic trash can.[/b]Rubbermaid
Paint it silver add some rubber/foam insulation to the top ridge and you have one cheap, but very effective homemade airbox.
K&N RF-1027
~8.5" long, 6.5" to 4.5" tapered conical = 835cfm Effective Filtering Area (really anything over 700cfm should be sufficient)
For Reference:
The KKM has a 540cfm Effective Filtering Area.
The Stock K&N drop-in (E-0998) has a 650cfm Effective Filtering Area. (provided it's not still in the restrictive airbox mind you!)
