I got mine in the mail yesterday. Semi long shipping and he isn't very talkative, but aside from receiving the smallest PVC hose ever with an intake, it seems like it should work great.

I'm 99% sure it's 2.5 inch piping, so no relocating the fuse box, should just go right in with no rubbing.

The filter's cheap so I'm gonna replace it with mushroom filter if it'll fit.

I'll try to do a step by step with lines drawn on where I end up cutting it, as well as pictures of removing the stock airbox and removing wheel well plastic. Mine was sent as one piece as well, but at least they sent two couplers.

lol, I just got mine yesterday too. It actually came in Monday, but I missed the delivery. My PCV hose was really short too so I just sleeved it over the existing one for now so that it will reach.

I got it installed last night as well. I ended up having to take probably 3-4 inches off of the downpipe where the filter connects to because it was way too long. I also had a hell of a time getting the box out from inside the fender because that one screw on top of the box is really hard to get at. I had to remove my fog light and use a little wrench to get it out.

The piping looked nice on the outside, but it was kinda rough on the inside, so i ground and sanded it smooth as best i could, especially in the bends I could reach. My pipe was also one solid piece with 2 couplers so cutting was necessary.

The filter you got is probably the same one I got, cheap plastic capped filter with what looks like a stainless mesh grille.

I think I will replace the filter as well because mine does press on the fender plastic a bit (if you look, you can see that it pushes the plastic out a little in one spot). I hope once my rims get here this week (?) that there will be no rubbing, I don't think the bulge is significant.

When I installed the pipe, I had to remove the fusebox, as I assume you will have to as well, but when I went to put the fusebox back in it's place, I could only get 2 of the screws to line up. The piping was causing the fuse box to sit slightly inward, so I was unable to attach the screw that goes through the side of the fuse box, but the one to the strut tower and the one to the bottom fit just fine.

My pipe also came with a U-shaped screw bracket welded to it, which i cut and filed down, because it pressed on the fusebox as well.

I also drilled a 3/4" hole for the grommet and the mass airflow sensor to go into on the underside of the pipe after the second bend in the S.

And yeah, the car roars around 4k rpm and it sounds cool. I'm not quite used to the hiss sound from the filter while the car is idling. Would a better filter (K&N, mushroom-style) reduce this strange sound? Would a better filter really help much at all?

It was a fun little project. Glad I could finally get my hands dirty! I'll try to get a pic or 2 up with what I did.
