Hey guys so I've seen some threads about DIY intakes for 2016+ Hatches. However they all require hacking up the stock air box to get the MAF housing off (to add a cone filter for the whoooshh and pssshhhhhh noises) or running tubes down to the fender to pull more air.
My question is; is there any MAF housing I could buy put at the end of the plastic accordian tube and then build my own intake off that? Reason for this is my car is a lease (dont want to cut up my air box) and I have a spare cone filter lying around from my old car that passed away. I'd rather not go out and buy an entire airbox and hack that up ( I know its not expensive) but honestly I'd rather spend a little bit more and not need to chop stuff up.
ALSO, before anyone mentions it, YES I have seen PRL's conversion kit but my god that is way too much money for what it does in my opinion.
ALSO, ALSO; Yes I know power gains are not to be expected with most intakes, especially DIY for these cars, I always like a little extra engine sound though, and this is my first turboed car.
EDIT (additional question): What do you guys think of those silicone induction hoses by PRL and Mishimoto? Do they actually do anything useful or are they just eye candy under the hood?
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.
