Show me your box
I am thinking about ordering the FWI from Intense and I was wanting to see what you guys did for a box around the cone. A buddy of mine has an enclosed box around his intake on his GP. Wondering if anyone has something similar.

True. Does everyone just have the cone sitting in the airbox opening, behind the headlight? I figured with a box, it would definitely get the cooler air and also make the compartment look cleaner.

Different in WHERE it goes through, but yes, it pulls from the fender area. Protected entirely from engine bay heat.
There is no reason or benefit to builing a 'box'. This is what sets the FWI apart from the competition.

It fits in there pretty snug, plus it'* clamped very well to the tubing once you get it in. To install it you have to take off the tire and remove the plastic fender well liner. With the tubing attached to the filter with all the supplied parts you'll need you have to feed the tube up through the hole that your current airbox sticks it'* nose into. (considering we're talking about the '01 that'* listed in your sig). That was probably the hardest part of the install, slowly working the tube through the hole because it can get hung up on some edges in the fender.
