The "custom work" I was referring to was bending the rod.
Sorry if I made it sound really complicated, but technically, it is custom work.

as for the rod being bent it ain't all that lol. Screw it in the whole way first. Mark it off where you're going to cut it, mark it again on the side facing toward the windshieldso you know which way to bend it. Put a nut on it so after you bend it you can take the nut off and it will re-thread the rod where you bend it.Bend it back far enough to clear the hole in your air cleaner, then bent it up straight again. You can do it with your hands.
While you'rein there it's a good time to pop your throttle body off and look inside the intake for plenum leakage. Take the throttle body and clean it up with some carb cleaner. (If you're bored take a grinder and grind down the entire surface of the throttle body until it 100% flat)

Heres What i would do for performance mods. definatly a CAI or some sort of aftermarket air cleaner, i would also recommend a throttle body spacer. I understand You dont want to modify the exhaust but it is hard to increase HP with the restriction of a stock exhaust, i would highly reccomend atleast a free flow muffler something like a thrush turbo series muffler will increase exhaust flow and not be very loud. And finally stay away from those chips on ebay you are asking for problems if your gonna put one in do it right and buy a quality chip or a tuner.
