Sure. First off you have to take out the original air box. It's big, and you'll have to unscrew your fuse box and battery to get at it. Jack up the car, and take off the tire well splash guard. Then get some 2.5 in bendable exhaust pipe. I found mine at my local parts store, cost me like $20 for much more than I needed.

The hole where the original intake was is perfect for 2.5 in pipe and it fed right down into the tire well covered by the splash guard. So line it up, measure, and then cut the pipe. Leave enough room to fit your filter on, and more room so that if your car vibrates it won't vibrate against the shield.

Attach the pipe to your old intake (or just to your throttle body I suppose) and make sure it's the right size. You can see I used a pipe clamp and some duct tape to attach it to my injen. Just go to your hardware store and ask for the best duct tape they have. Route the pipe down it down there and make sure it fits with your filter. Don't connect anything yet.

This is the hard part: the fuse box won't go back into position with the pipe there. The pipe goes under the fuse box. So I took a heat gun, and melted the plastic of the fuse box and forced it into place. It was hard, and took two people and a lot of strength. You might think of a better way, just improvise. If you got a smaller battery, or reloacted your batter to the trunk, then you'd have more room to work with, and could probably just set the fuse box up in a different position.

Once you actually have the fuse box in, and your pipe down there. Tape the pipe to your old intake. And attach your filter really really tightly to the end of your intake. If you have a heatshield, I set mine up as a splash guard from the front of the car. Without fog lights, you can see your intake if you look closely. I actually took my fog lights off to get better air flow.

Put everything back on, including the batter. Don't forget to attach the o2 sensors to your intake, and then start er up. Gains? Well not much. Sound? A little bit louder. But it's something fun to do, and hey, you just made your own custom intake.
