i have done this on my classic also, have made a 'shroud/box' also for the air filter. difference of temperature inside the box and outside after a good drive is amazing.

I've got an 150mm pipe running to mine. It's actually too big! When on the rolling road, with the fans turned on, the MAF gets confused because of the sheer amount of air going in

Works well though.

I also made my own cold air box, which on a 25C day, only got to 26C - very effective

lol yeah the filter is a bit 'big'. required quite a bit of arch grinding to make it fit.

I put the fog cover on when it's raining though as they are vents in the bumper which still give it some air

used to do ghetto bin liner style when it rained with an elastic band
