Thank you K-Masha.

ducting was from an early Y2K NSX performance parts company called RM Racing. i do not believe they are in business any longer. The outside of it is a "clothlike" material and the inside is coated and ribbed with wire for bendability.
it basically feeds into the plastic intake piece under my hood (see horn relocation pic - snorkel piece with the jegs sticker) which shoves the air into the intake box.
May eventually replace the box with CCI but thus far testing indicates box with sport filter is ideal over CCI (and def HAI...errr....cone filter) until jumping up to K16 or similar.
whatever route i may or may not end up doing...this cold air collection apparatus will remain.
