k here it goes.

u will need a grinder with a cutoff wheel or a hacksaw will work to.

go to ebay and buy urself an 98-02 HONDA ACCORD CAI setup. u can get these from anywhere to $40-$50 shipped.

u will get 2 tubes. one is shaped like an L..... this is ur top tube. u will need to trim 6 inches or so off this tube. just line it up and trim till u get the length right.

the second tube is shaped like an S. trim the bottom curve off that has the 2 connections for vaccum lines. again its about 6 inches or so. just trim till u get it to fit.

u will need to get 1 or 2 bigger couplers to fit the tube onto ur MAF. and if u want to replace the accordian connection between the MAF and Throttle Body that comes stock on ur car..... just use another coupler between those 2 and get grommets from autozone to plug the IAT sensor into.

and there u have it. an intake nearly identical and as nice lookin as the "others" out there.

u guys can thank me later ;)
