I think the just took his stock intake arm off the resonator box and turned it so it now sucks air from around the axle/tie rod area.

yup, removed the resonator box
cut the arm down a bit
and zip tied it to the motor mount, so it doesn't move around

here is a before shot

I did the same thing. I don't think it made much of a difference though.
