A couple days ago, I was cleaning out my air box and dusting the filter when I noticed that the inital tube that connect from the outside into the air box can be disconnected via a small metal lever. Can both sides be disconnected? IF so, I may be able to devise a custom intake pipe to connect into the airbox and at least get a pretty decent increase in airflow to the box. The current pipe is very restrictive, as you have probably seen.
