Good to know Ray, can you also price out a silicone coupler I guess it would need to be about 3" in length, as I stated above, thinking about swapping the rubber accordion piece out ( oh ya blue if possible)

Very much. It was my very first mod to the car almost 4 years ago. No regrets.

Well... you get high praise for ingenuity. Cleanliness? Um, no.

Here's the Apexi on the Frankencar again, from almost the same angle as Knight's pic.

Hey Rochester, you know it's ok to drive the car out of the garage and off the drive !!! brownie points for keeping the bay looking new.

It's OK to drive it? Really? Man, all those years wasted.

Thanks, Jim. Of course, you know I'm jealous that you've got a friend like Knight to work on your cars together. You guys are on the wrong side of the Lake, you Hosers!

You need the apexi adapter for sure. The mid pipe you already have is on the other side of the maf housing. I've had the same apexi filter for about for years, 40,000 miles and it is still like new. I do need to replace it.
