I used a 3" to 3" Rubber coupler, also reffered to as a Fernco from the Throttle body to a 3" 90* Street Elbow

Then I measured and cut a 9" piece of ABS Plastic.... and Let me stop here and say, I bought 10 FEET of this crap because it was all they could sell, and I did not want to use PVC because of the mixed reviews... So Anybody wanting to make there own hit me up with a pm and I can hook you up.

I then secured the filter to a 3" 45* Street and started playing with how I wanted it all to fit.

Then I took it all off, drill a 1/2" hole in the Fernco for the IAT sensor, I had to work it out a little, I think 5/8" would have been perfect but 1/2" was the largest bit I had.

I secured the sensor to the fernco using some RTV.

Then Glue all of your pieces together making certain they fit how you want and your done... I'm waiting for everything to set up as I type this thread before I turn her loose.
