Default How hard to make a cone adaptor myself?

A friend of mine is selling a slightly used cone for a good price, how should i make an adaptor, i'm thinking going to home depot and getting 2 pieces, a ~4"x4" piece of alum about 1/8" thick to use as a mount and a thin walled alum piece about 4" high and the right diameter to fit the cone, then weld the two, drill a few holes and mount

any insight?

I don't see why what you are describing wouldn't work.

Can't you just attach the cone ahead of the stock maf ring?

Seems like it's not worth to do a cone?
Even the APR guy said so....<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/performance/msgs/11005.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/performance/msgs/11005.phtml</a</li></ul>
