Stock Airbox?

What has everyone done with theirs? Side projects, kept for a dealer visit? I need to buy one, but no one has them for sale, haha.

i kept mine for those visits to the stealerships

Its a very expensive OEM part... upwards of $300 last I checked.
I am not surprised people hold on to them.

The E46 unit is the same way...and sells for cheap (even when the car was new).

I want a spare, going to wrap the bottom half in gold reflective foil and do some temp testing.

It's my garage queen now, but I highly doubt a dealer would mention something about having an aftermarket intake (unless they are super anal).

I never had a problem with my dealer. I would be willing to part with my stock box, however I am currently in Iraq. If you still want it in 6 months, I would hook you up. I'd get my wife to send it, but you'd probably end up with my stock 350z intake instead. Crazy women!

Sounds good, maybe some thermo-tec tape or something?
