just got done putting it together and installing right now, what do you think?? keep in mind the MAF is going between the two red couplers.

Looks like you did a really good job of keeping the bends as gradual as possible- I think it will end up looking pretty good under there!

I do have a question though- why'd you go with different color couplers for the MAF and TB (red and black)?

i knew that was comming. cause i am really anxious to get it on there and all they had was 2 reds and one black. but i think it might look okay cause if you look at the coupler that holds the filter on it black so idk we'll see how it looks. anyway if i dont like it i can exchange it when they get the red ones in.

Looks good, but I think the filter is a little on the small side.

yeah it going behind the headlight, ill most definaatly take pics for all you. its an airraid, i just bought a bunch of pieces from some place out here and im gonna return teh parts i dont use. i really like those chrome couplers, can you belive those are silicone. the filter is getting changed soon its just for working on it for now. but i got a really huge problem that someone could hopfully help me out with here, i had it all hooked up today and when i went to start the car, it wouldnt> well, it started for about a split second. i mean everythings hooked up right. of course i hooked the battery up, is there something im missing that i have to do?? i hooked up the stock intake after i couldnt get it to run and there was no problem at all ,started write up. please hellp me out here.

Doesn't make sense- only two plugs in the intake should be the IAT and MAF- as long as you plugged those both back in you should be fine. You sure you had the MAF in and the right way?

yeah everything was correct, the only thing i can think of is that the battery wasnt tight enough. i mean it was on the terminal pretty good but there was still room to tighten it, do you think that couldve been it??

Be careful not to over-tighten your battery terminals.
