Here are the photos of my new Amsoil 4510 ($83shipped) and PVC ($30) Intake...
1.) Stock Elbow from Turbo...
2.) 4.5" or so Male to 4" Male fitting - Thinner Sewer PVC (not standard shc40)
3.) 3.5" piece of 4" Sewer PVC
4.) 4" 45° Elbow Sewer PVC
5.) 4" 90° Elbow Sewer PVC
6.) Amsoil 4510 - ($83shipped)
Painting will come soon.

The WHISTLE on this thing is UN-REAL! It sounds like a Big Rig Turbo...
I can feel the difference in response and overall throttle going down the road. Its like a big cork was pulled out of it. I was running a K&N with a homemade cold air induction... THIS BLOWS THAT OUT OF THE WATER! I would be interested in knowing the HP gain 'cause I can feel a difference.
Really happy with it.

CRAP!
Well that is a big kick in the pants... I got used to this being my home working on my 12v so much. Well maybe the Admin can straighten this out... BUT! I have already ordered the 4510 again and will put this on my 97... It should rip with this in it. It is much shorter and closer to the Stock Box than my 24v...
Sorry for the Mishap... I will try to work up the PVC this evening on the 12v.
I certainly have my hat in my hands for this one!

probably should look into getting a heat shield between the filter and the engine... Kind of defetes the purpose of a CAI without it as you will just be sucking in hot air and be careful going through a big puddle of water, dont want to suck up an water..
water injestion = BIG problem

Just got it painted and reinstalled. I shaved down and sanded all of the factory molding spikes, Stamping, and mold creases... I may paint it a darker metallic or flat black now that a have a plastic adhesive base.
I used a Hammered Metallic for Plastics & PVC...
Also flipped my sensor around to have the wires go under.
I will look into fabing up a shield soon.

Hey Hey... A fellow PVC'r. I couldn't be happier for the $$'s. No Engineering costs built into our setup...
