I don't know what you mean by "jump around." Mine sits tight in the hole I cut running it behind the front bumper. The tube is stiff as well as the rubber connection hoses, so it stays put.

I used a strip of scrap metal and attached it to a bolt on the strut tower and a bolt on the filter adaptor. holds everything in place.

What material is that tubing made out of or where did ya get it? it looks similar to what iv got but tougher(which im looking for). Also, what did u do with the hose from the idle valve that goes into the stock airhose?

Chris: How did you extended the MAS wires all the way to the front. Secondly, where did you buy that hose. It looks nice.

Don't know where Chris is

But I asked him the same thing a while ago, the tubing is flexible exhaust, you can buy it from JC Whitney, to lengthen the MAF wire he cut the wires and soldered in wire to make it long enough.

I could be wrong on some stuff, Chris??

Dabman, no offense taken. The paint was done professionally and the tires were done by me with a couple cans of spray paint. The oem wheels were loosing the coating and looked like crap so I painted the inner portion black and the outer ring the color of the car. The wing I like, and others do too, it's just preferance, you don't no biggie, I'll live. As far as the tubing, it is exhaust flex pipe for large trucks. I got the coated pipe but stainless steel is available too for double the cost per foot. The idle valve hose I ran into where the rear valve cover tube ran (into the side of the intake manifold) which is just opposite the front valve cover tube. I then just sealed off the line that runs to the rear valve cover, it's safe, there's even a mod in the "mod" heading on this forum to seal these off, that's what gave me the idea. As for the wires, just cut, buy new wire of different colors (5) and then sauder them. The sixth wire wraps around two wires specifically in a sperate bundle, this wire is bare and acts as a sheild. I took a 10 gauge wire, stripped it and seperated it into two strands, then wrapped it around my new wire and suadered it, then used wire tape to insulate and protect. Done. Any other Q's?
