With some patience you can actually make a hole that will still utilize the twist lock on the sensor. I drilled a 1/2" hole, then used a rat-tail file to shape out the notches needed for the twist lock. I can easily remove/replace my sensor as needed, just like the stock resonator.

As for the oil breather, I agree with Mark up there. Go to advance and buy you an oil breather filter. Very easy to install, and works great. You can see mine in this picture, it's the red filter next to the oil fill

heres some stuff to ponder...would it make a difference what length it is? and what if you put the sensor closer to the filter so it can read a colder temp?...and lastly, what do you think of puttin a fan of some sort inline with the pvc?

whatever the temp reads it will change the air fuel mixture...another reason cold air intakes have nothing to do with "cold air". ha. there is a reason for that sensor other than to tell you the outside temp on the dash

I did a homebrew CAI as well. I drilled a hole for the IAT and put a grommet in there. Then I put the sensor in there with no issues.

If I'm not mistaken HAMMER has long tubes on his 04 HEMI.

Yeah +1 On the grommet. That would be the right way to do it. All this talk about Duct tape and glue and what not is rediculus and the grommet looks way better.
