No that has to be custom made. Look at the bent metal piece near the cone holding it in place. It looks like one i made for my Volvo S70 i had when i was 16. Not sure about HP gains but it sounded better. Im thinking about a way to make an intake for my 320 if i cant find a good box or open element one on the market. if you get that i would definitely heat sheild it or you'll risk acutally loosing power (sucking in hot air). I actually like open element air filters, but i would loose the chrome...and the blue...some of the funniest things ive ever seen on cars are those silicone "engine dress up kits" BWAHAHAHA!!!!

Interesting...does the 320 have only one intake runner tube or two like the 430's?
Eitherway, I would think that this set-up would work, but you would have to compliment it with a heat shield that effectively sections the engine off so the filter sits in it's on compartment and away from the heat for it to work. Otherwise, the added flow would be negated by the extra heat....like all cone-filter set-ups are plauged with.

These intakes are basically Hot Air Intakes, not sure if its safe for the engine nor will you experience any HP gains, just a better sounding engine and maybe some throttle response.
