http://s1273.beta.photobucket.com/us...03585725707048

But i also have a few questions...

1. What do you do about this hose?
http://s1273.beta.photobucket.com/us...39745637719627
2. My check engine light came on so i checked it with my programmer and it said "intake temperature sensor, high" What does that mean???

3. How did you secure it in place? i just zip tied it for now but i need a more permanent solution
http://s1273.beta.photobucket.com/us...05548743100539

4. Where did you find that coupler to go from the throttle body to the pipe? i couldnt find one thats 3.5 inches....

Well I don't see your AIT plugged in anywhere. Did you drill a hole in the intake, put a grommet in and then plug the sensor back in? Also for the hose go to your local auto parts store and look for the little oil filters and put one on there.

Yeah make sure you make a hole for your MAP Sensor. And this is the air filter you can put on the tube. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...chTerm=spectre

Yeah, if you dont put the iat back you will throw a code. That little filter that itsUhHemi linked to will work. You can go to any autoparts store and look for the crankcase filters, they are universal and will fit perfectly right into that tube. You should be able to find the fernco pretty much at any hardware store, homedepot, lowes, ace, wherever, maybe they were out where you went, idk, its not a rare part or anything. As for securing it, I dont have anything keeping it pressed down, it fits very securely in there. I do have a rafter hanger that i mounted to the side of the engine bay where the end of my filter sits on the rafter hanger, this keeps it from going down too far.

Hope that helps a little bit. It looks nice though!

I did plug in he map sensor in the back. I drilled a hole in the back and put it in and siliconed around it. I'll post a pic when I get home.

And what did you guys use to connect the pipe and the throttle body? I couldn't find any 3.5 inch couplers
