Finally .. i went out tonight and bought these parts .. its simple with instructions and boy .. i can't be happier!! The idle sounds nice, when i punch it 1) i can definitely feel the engine breathing easier, and 2 ) i love the sound. Here are some pics

I dont wanna burst your bubble, but that's really not a good setup. It's not bad, and will probably be better than stock, but why would you use a 90* bend and a reducing coupler?

cut the elbo and get some PVC and make it a FWI

Shaved - is the FWI you're referring to like in your photobucket album ??

I dont find this setup to be a problem, anything is better than stock and my air filter was dirty .. like it was nasty. And for my first performance mod, doing it by myself, i went with one of the guides on this site, which said to use the parts i have.

Also i'm not really looking for THE best .. i mean its my first time doing things as well so, i'm pleased, but you're entitled to your opinion

Yeah, I understand what you're saying. It isn't bad at all. A 45* bend with thicker ID tubing would be much better.

how big is the filter?
how much did it cost you in total?
Looks cool BTW good job

the filter i bought for my setup i built is adaple one 3"- 4" Something like that

please give more detail on how to drill your Ait sensor.

TBH I'm not 100% sure on the size of the filter , but the end is 3" as it fits into the 3" elbow snug.
cost me about 45$, the filter costing about 29.

I jsut drilled a single hole which clearly wasn't big enough, i than drilled a second hole beside it, and using a sharp knife i cut it to make a square hole kinda and it fits snugly int:)

What you could do is get a 60 degree elbow at 3inches or bigger and keep the intake tubing nice and wide for maximum airflow.

no. mine is a HAI

FWI - Fenderwell intake. goes inide the fender.

So i'm upset now .. for the odd reason, my coupler is having a hard time staying attatched to the throttle body! It doesn't fall off completely but it seems the butterfly clamps are tight enough to hold it but aren't gripping enough rubber or something on both sides to hold it in place permanently! Is a new coupler in need or whats the issue here !!! My coupler i used is 4" x 3 "

You need a THREE INCH!!!!!!!!!! Straight coupler. That means 3"x3". And then get a 3" 45* bend and you will be golden.

x2 with the other comments, that is a small piece of PVC, you really need to match the intake tubing to the size of the intake as much as possible, and keep the bends to an absolute minimum.

What's the purpose of the clamp around the tubing where the filter connects to the tubing?
Generally the filter slips on the outside of the tubing and the clamp goes around the filter, securing the filter around the tubing.
You've got the filter going inside the tubing with the clamp around the tubing.
Is the clamp really doing anything with it around the tubing instead of the filter being around the tubing then the clamp on the filter?
