You could get the K&N replacement filter and put it in there. Then just get rid of the big rubber hose that goes to the throttlebody and replace it with hard pipe. I don't think you could make a "true" cold air intake because I'm sure you don't want to put the MAS (mass airflow sensor) behind the bumper. Otherwise it could get damaged.

The K&N direct replacement filter will actually help a little, but the hard pipe from the MAS to the throttlebody would be what really makes the difference.

Look around the net and see if you can find a cold air intake from a non-turbo dsm and pattern it after that. Just make sure that you keep the MAS so you don't screw up the engine.
