Bedfore you go through all this fabricating you should actually monitor the AIT. Everyone thought they could improve on the IS350 intake box and after testing, it functions perfectly as a cold air system in stock form (adding a Joe Z does help). I personally tested the AIT and it was 1 degree warmer or less at WOT. Just a thought.
P.S. Here is a fun pic for reference.
