I just finished cleaning my K&N filter and I added PVC piping instead of the ridged drainage piping I had in there. Last step will be adding the elbow PVC piece and cutting a hole for some hot ram air action.

Also I notice my scoop and airbox weren't 100% connected. They are now.

I should be getting a Y-pipe within the next few months. Or I might be doing some stereo stuff. You up for it?

I can forgive that. He's just trying out a new intercooler setup. This minivan runs 12's and his Reliant K car runs 10's. This guy is a genius.

the sensor that is actually stuck into the tubing can be a little tough, but you just have to pull it straight out. If you pull straight out, it should be just fine. That is the only way to get it out. The other one is bolted to the front of the scoop, so all you have to do is remove the bolt.
