What model year are we talking about?

If you don't mind a bit more noise under full-throttle acceleration, an aftermarket intake is certainly an option.

But then again, how exactly did you break the OEM box?
They tend to be rather sturdy. h:

A more specific description or, even better, a pic would help. Depending on the part damaged, it may not need replaced. As long as it isn't letting air into the system without first passing through the filter.

I'm not sure what that filter box looks like, but if you broke the top, or post-filter, part of the box, you might just be able to use some epoxy resin (basically turns into plastic) to fix it.

I think the box he's talking about is upstream of the filter anyway. So it can't let unfiltered air into the system.

Or maybe he's talking about the actual filter housing?

The ghetto way: You could patch it up with duct tape because its mostly inside the fender & nobody can see it.

A little more information would be good.
