I used 63mm S/S pipe and tig welded it together. The air box connection is of silicon intercooler hose from super cheap, it fits on ok. I have a connection on to the air box, then a short piece of pipe then another silicone connector. This leaves some movement when the engine is moving around while off road.

I have had this in for about a year and it is going great.

I used a 90 bend (long) and then cut it off so the bottom is parallel with the top of the door frame.
