Save your money!! Keep the original Airbox unless you fit a FMIC, or are going for more than 350bhp IMHO.

Alloy wont do you any favours, it'll conduct heat more so than the plastic of the Subaru airbox.

Make your own. All you need is a sheet of carbon fibre and some heat insulation mat to act as a heat barrier.
E-mail me if you want some photographs that you can post on here.

There are also a couple of shots on here that might assist.

My current airboxes feeding the cone or cylindrical filters all run at ambient temperature.
