What is this?
I found this on this forum somwhere and I lost it. Looking at the cold air/air intake block off, that appears to incorporate the factory set up into it and just seperates it off completely instead of just laying up front.
Looks like a good/inexpensive way to do a cold air on a GS.
Thanks for the help.

Gotta open up the bottom too to get cold air. This is blocking off the heat from the engine compartment, well at least in theory.
It looks like the Halltech beehive piece.

I haven't seen that air filter enclosure before, so it may be homemade. That's not the Halltech beehive though, although it works similarly. The Beehive rests on the radiator cover and encloses the whole area in front of the radiator shroud. It could be someone cut up a Beehive to make that though. As mentioned, to make use of this, you need to open up the shroud, or install something like a Vette Air scoop. Lots of folks complain that this causes surging, especially with the Halltech MF series air bridge, which moves the MAF forward. I have experienced that as well with a MF103, after seriously butchering the shroud, but the surge can be tuned out.
In fact, on one occasion when I experienced surging all of a sudden, all I did was tighten the clamps and pull the MAF and clean it with QD electrical cleaner and the surging went away.

Here's a bump.
FWIW I think I have seen that CAI for sale with some vendor before.
Almost looks like it will pass a visual smog inspection appearing OEM....well I can dream.
Good luck finding the answer.
