    well i got rid of the airbox and put on a cone filter. not really much of a noticable difference in power, a little difference on noise, alot of difference on looks. now i need to figure out how to cover up the electrical stuff that was hdiing in the bottom of the airbox. im thinking of cutting up an old plastic dealer plate, painting it black and using some silicone adhesive.

    Look into replacing the corrugated piping between the MAF and the TB.

    Whatever you use, drill a hole in it, then stick it in.

    Use a grommet if its metal or plastic.

    Or do the lazy thing and zip tie it on top.

    I was gonna say...that works.

    Also...I'd get the next filter up in size. That one you used is kinda the medium one. I actually noticed a difference going up in filter size...on my car.

    Most people just remove the entirety of the box and zip tie or velcro down the pcm. Other people use S10 pcm trays, and the rest buy S10 trays from zzp.

    go to your local pilot or T/A truckstop. looks like the 4" intake piping on them. ive often thought about scavenging a few pieces from work for an intake.
