is it worth getting 1 of these things?

it probably wouldnt be that hard to make urself

Yeah I got one of them.

Got it awhile back so I can't remember how much difference it made, but that + a cold air pipe seems to help it along, especially when the engine warms up.

ive seen some in some supercheap stores
around $30

was thinking getting 2 and making a full closed one

I think you'd be wasting your money. Unless you completely separate the pod from the engine bay your still sucking in hot air and that bit of steel is just going to get hot and restrict flow :confused:
