Engine air intake

I decided that mounting the air filter directly onto the throttle body was not how I wanted it.  To me it is best for engine efficiency to get cooler air from outside the cowl than inside by a hot engine.   So I built a housing for the filter that is mounted (fiberglass) to the right side of the lower cowl.  Air enters through a NACA duct to the air filter then up through a scat tube to the throttle body.

Below are a few pics of the process.

Note that the air sensor it mounted at the aft / lower part of the air filter box.

Pretty happy with the final result.
