Its an APC filter from autozone, now that I see the results with this one, when I rebuild the intake I'll trade this one up for an AEM.

My major issue is mounting the MAF??? Any suggestions? I poked around home depot for at least an hour, and I couldnt find anything entirely suitable to securely mount it. Right now I just drilled a hole in the PVC and jammed it in there, its not even a good seal as it stands, hence the duct tape.

Total cost, approx $35, being generous :)



Awesome results! The top speed is something that I can put a number on, before it was a struggle to get past 105, directly after, 110 took about the same amount of time. With a switch to mobil premium gas, I got it up to 115 today on the same stretch I got to 110 on last time and couldnt get past 105 on before (i had actually tried for longer distances to get past 105 on the stock setup), between 2 highway exits, they are approx (using mapquest map) 1.5 miles apart. Approx 1-1.25 mile to get up to 115 :).

Other than that, its tough to say exactly what it did. It "feels" faster, and I can without a doubt feel the extra kick in the top end.

I earlier posted about a loss of torque, but after driving it around some more... i think it might just br the big boost in the top end making it "feel" weaker down low.

I also have a magnaflow muffler on the stock piping, and it really didnt do much, but I think combined with the intake it made a big difference.

For its purposes, even my ugly/cheap/ghetto setup works great - the biggest difference is passing on the highway, its alot easier now.

I plan to redo it out of one solid piece of PVC and paint it. I've bent PVC before and all it takes is a good amount of heat.

Looks Awsome and its a great idea i think make that job
