I dont know about you, but i dont have $105 to spend. This setup works just as well and costs under half the price. (Prices acquired from Advanced Auto. Was just there looking at all this stuff less than 4 hours ago. There is no Pep Boys anywhere near here and i refuse to shop at Napa.)

He's telling you to get the aluminum bends not the KIT the aluminum bends are no more than 20 bucks. The couplers are pricey imo at 15 bucks..

what about the maf sensor thats gotta go in there doesnt it?

**Scottydoggs** · 06-14-2013

this how to is for the 97-03. the maf is in the TB.

for 04 up, you do the same thing, but put the maf and its tube at the end clamped to the new cone air filter.

I just did this on my 04 tonight, I used two couplers, one to connect throttle body to MAF and one from MAF to the pvc. Here's a pic of how GrandPrix06GT did it, and I did the same.

Just need to figure out how to get the IAT sensor in there.

Your MAF and IAT are all housed in the same unit.

Here is the K&N pdf installation with plenty of pics and descriptions. Just duplicate the parts from the hardware store.

What extra sensor are you referring to

**Jordan** · 06-15-2013

This

**91parkave** · 06-15-2013

That's not a sensor that is your evap hose which needs yo be hooked back up to the intake tract pre-maf. Just drill a hole in the rubber coupler and put it in there.

**GrandPrix06GT** · 06-15-2013

Yeah just drill a hole for it between the first maf n throttle body..middle of the coupler because you want the lips to seal on both sides n to be able to tighten them down. I did it just after I took the pics..although a few people said it didn't matter anyways. E tween the two silver clamps there.

Has anyone done a write up on the 04+? I understand it's different...

**Scottydoggs** · 06-17-2013

the last 3 posts are 04 and up. copy those pics.

**02NavyBlue** · 07-03-2013

Out of curiosity, what's in the stock air box besides just a filter? I heard it's a sound muffling box so there must be something other than just a filter, right? Like sound barrier walls or something.
