Looks like you went down to the home depot for that one.
Looks clean and organized though, sure beats the factory airbox. My first attempt at making an intake tube was made from PVC plastic pipes too, but since then I swapped it for a 3" aluminum piece I got from an exhuast pipe. I still used part of my old intake tubing as a spacer to mate the aluminum tube to the factory ribbed intake tube.
Here is a pic of my intake, although it is not all that easy to see.

just buy a honda intake
connect it to the the rubber hose that goes on the throttle body
aim the intake above the battery and your fine\
remove all the intake stuff too.
only thing is where the intake used to be, is this big nothing
but i like the look better.
very nice looking intake
mine is in blue
i'll try to post pics. sometime when i can borrow a digital camera.

I'd like to get rid of the rubber flex piece too Dale..it's just...fugly. problem is...the throttle body fitting is oval..*** knows why...so you have to get some sort of fitting that goes from just the right size oval over to a circular thing..although we could probably hack the rubber flex part for that. I was hoping to get a hold of a nice piece of stainless steel for the intake but I can't find a place that cuts it to size..they all sell it as a whole piece, which is pretty expensive.. Maybe if I find another use for it...

If you take a 3" aluminum pipe and somehow bend the ends into an oval shape, it is almost a perfect fit. That oval throttle body is the very reason why I still have my stock rubber intake hose. I would like to make it as short as possible.
