Hope this helps... all and all i spent 35 on it... thats with a cheap autozone cone filter and the pvc plus a can of krylon indoor outdoor paint... I figured if i got the high heat paint it would be wasted because the pvc would start to melt before the paint did...

yeah i just plugged the hose with a bolt and screw band... It has a more throaty sound... It does have a little more pep, Im sure if had a throttle body and tuner id prolly have more but for now its got a pretty good response.

The sensor I didnt have but Im sure if you drill a hole into the pvc and duct tape it in it should be fine... thats what a few other guys have done... I think you still need to reset your trucks computer... just unhook the battery ground cable for atleast 5 minutes, and then drive around for a few miles like granny... that should let your pc reset the airflow sensor and all that jazz...

It looks good by the way!
