Monk, put a hose in there for sure. Not only will you get a little more air, but you will also insure a nice supply of cooler air being brought into the air box.
As for the prototypes i have built so far here's a few pictures of the one I made today and the one I made last week. I haven't cut out the inlet for the MAF yet, so I don't have pictures of it installed yet. I plan to do that in a little while.
Of course these are held together with screws, which just makes it easy for me to take the different pieces apart to make adjustments to them as needed. They will be replaced with rivets of course, but for right now the screws are working ok.
