    that pic i posted is your maf style clamped to the filter, and then some pvc pipe and couplers. pretty easy stuff.

    you'll want to paint the pvc to make it your own, unless you like white. or buy chrome pipe in the ricer section of every parts store.

    you'll also want to turn the maf upside down to hide it, so it looks like just pipe from the top, and put the bolts of the clamps on the down side too to keep them out of sight.

    set your clamps and maf the exact opposite of that pic, and it will look better lol

    before painting the pvc pipe, scuff it up with sand paper 100 grit works well, the paint will stick better.

    this is how i painted my pipe, string and a pencil.

    you can hang it anywhere, but this way you dont have to put it down or think about touching it.
