I know this is played out, but when i came home today i did this with an autozone filter i had and ALL THE STOCK PIPING. its not GREAT but it sounds good and looks ok. Good thread if you want to make an intake on a budget.

it basically sits on top of those lines behind the battery. the battery is in the way a bit also.

They way they designed it was to reduce the sound. damping the air moving thew the tubes so you dont get that Nice ROAR sound lol.

id get it off those power wires and make a bracket.. it will rattle on the wires and rup threw the wires and most likely spark out.... seems like theres gapping aswell on the pipeing.. i guess when your on a budget itd work though

I did that same thing to one of mine. used a dremel to cut it up and the stock connectors to put it back together. didn't keep the valve cover to intake hose tho. Nice!
