the air box just bolts onto the air flow meter, this is where u need the adaptor made up, u need something that will bolt onto the afm where the airbox did, and have a 3 inch piping attatched to it for the pod to slip onto...so rip ur airbox out..rip ur afm out..and take ur afm to an exhaust place and tell them u need them to make up an adaptor to fit a pod onto it

there are more errors, but i cant be assed pointing them out.
seriously dude, your asking for help, at least spell the question normally.
now, heres the process to do something on a car (for fitting a pod)
open the bonnet,
look at air intake system,
determine what you need to make the pod fit.
if its an adapter either bodge one up or go buy one.
you said you want it for the sound, fair enough, i would think that the larger the pipe is, the louder it will be, replace the whole pipe if you want it for sound.
you may think im being harsh, but man, seriously, its just so much easier reading simple english than trying to dechiper 1337.

on my mates 91 lancer...he has a cover (not sure if its orginal) but a pod filter fits snugly inside and it looks very stock and it has a piping coming off for cold air intake. i'm not sure wether it will fit but i'll measure it up if anyone wants me to??
also yeah write/spell things normally so people wont mistake you for being "H3KTiC"
also what kind of engine do you have...i'm assuming a 3S-FE or a 5S-FE?

if your only doing it for the sound factor, then i suggest you dont modify your airbox, instead replace the airduct going from your airbox to the engine with some steel, or s/s piping, a muffler shop can do this very easily, and strap it down with some turbo hose,
incidentally if you do this i would purchace the removed duct off you, if it isnt broken at the throttle body end, which i assume it is. 
dont expect heaps of sound,
driving with an open throttle body procuces only a little bit of a hiss on acceleration through the high revs
dont worry about the box that hangs off the duct, it is a noise baffle,

if all you want is the noise, then remove then intake resonator in the front wheel well (2-3 bolts)
