all you need is piping, couplers, and a filter for a custom setup, or get one of those chromeintakes CAIs from ebay, i believe they do what you are looking for.

The intake cone (or filter) is the piece that will actually be sucking in air. Basically, there's not a step-by-step on this site, you have to piece together your own kit. There is plenty of information here on the right filters and the right kits, you just have to route the piping yourself. What I would suggest is just getting out to your car and doing it. Remove the stock airbox and intake hose, and then buy some piping and couplers at a local auto store and start routing the pipes.

Also, there are two types of intake setups: short ram intake (SRI) and cold air intake (CAI). Generally, ram air intakes are short and basically only allow a bit more air than the stock airbox. They're easier to route because you don't have to ensure that the filter is getting cold air, so a short pipe is used and therefore, it's a lot less work. With a CAI (like you're trying to accomplish), you have to place the filter so it can access cold air, and often, this requires more piping.

ok let me clearfy a little i know the difference btw cold air and short ram i have installed both but never custom anyway i want to know the name of the piece that sticks outside of the car because i will be routing it out of the fron bumper and i realize i need or should have an air bypass i just really didnt know if anyone had done this on here or not to see plus i didnt really know where i could get the piping but that you guys answered much appreciated i just cant find the name of that piece so i can get everything at once?

There's a piece that sticks into the fender from the engine bay. Not sure what it's called, but you have to remove your fuse/relay box to get to it. There's also the intake box resonator which sits right behind the LH fender. You need to take out the LH fender liner to get to it.
