    Essentially, hes saying strap a cone filter to your throttle body and listen to it whine.

    yea but when you use a cone filter dont you need to make some sort of heat shield cuz it just soaks up engine heat

    doesnt matter. if its on the TB ur pushing way more air to the engine than with silly CAI or Fenderwells. it makes up for all the heat.

    45 for a drop in, no chit? wow. You will need a new cone style filter, pick whatever is in your budget. I went cold air because I figure cold>hot. And I like seeing my IAT around 100*

    Intake Manifold > throttlebody > corrugated tubing > MAF > airbox > headlight

    The MAF is the hard plastic tube part of the airbox that is attached to the corrugated rubber tube.

    When you remove your airbox, you will find that your PCM is located in it. Just zip tie this down; it will be safe getting wet and dirty.
