haha, this is great. i think i can make this work. (excuse the dirty engine bay, in some pics it looks like there is rust, but that was just the lighting) took it apart...
started mixing and matching stock intake parts and look what i came up with...
this is with it sitting on top of the throttle body, i will need to get a shorter filter so it can face straight back and will need to get a short rubber tube to connect the throttle body to the maf sensor, again i will use stock clamps...
might be a tight fit, but i think i can shave some of that elbow off the top and i have a throttle body spacer i can take off if need be, but im curious to hear the whistle it will put out with this short of an intake...
have about 5" of room for the new filter. shouldnt be tough to find one that size or smaller...
anyone forsee any problems here? again, not sure how im gonna work the air box yet, but that can be figured out later.
