I did this to my truck, I decided I wanted to get rid of the stock airbox, but I didn't want to spend $100 on an intake pipe. So, here's what I did.
First step, remove the airbox. Leave the hose and MAF in place.
Step two, cut the neck off of the airbox lid, the pipe-looking part that connects to the MAF.
Step three, clamp a 3" diameter rice-boy filter of your choice to the piece that you just cut off
Step four, put everything back together, and voila! A cool-air intake built for the cost of the filter and little else. Now, it'd be a good idea to brace the MAF from vibrations, I used zip ties. Also, if you want to make a snorkel, use the same basic setup and put one of those filters on the external pipe, leaving you lots of space in the engine bay for things like air pumps and MSD boxes.
