Then get a K&N cone filter and couple it to the other end of the pipe. You will probably want to get an elbow so you can direct the pipe toward the front and side of the engine bay. Now get some plexiglass, also from the hardware store, and cut a piece that will fit vertically between the filter and the rest of the engine bay. Attach that. You've just made yourself a cold air intake for about $10 plus the cost of the K&N.

Whatever you do
don't do that. I'm pretty sure you don't want your engine bay to look like some 15 year old kid put together an air intake for you. Spend $120 on a nice polished aluminum one. It won't look like crap.
