Thanks as always fellas. Small update. Nearly finished with the air filter. I decided to increase the diameter of the 'filter element' by using a larger diameter aluminum tube. Now the base of the filter is together with the filter mounted in place. Also added the aluminum mesh. I punched a hole out of the filter top (not pictured .. its drying lol) so I could detail the inside of the filter. The silver cone looking bit fits inside the filter to mimic the intake venturi piece found on some K&N Extreme filters. This was made by shortening a silver beading cone from the craft store. The filter top trim ring was punched from .005 aluminum plate. Lastly, that tiny white bit is a scratched air flow sensor which will mount on the intake tube later. More coming soon!

Finally getting somewhere. I was able to get the intake tube mostly done last night. I mounted the airflow sensor and topped it off with a cable and MCG PE bolt heads. The air filter is also done except the adjustment screw on the hose clamp. Mocked up the tube and filter for a couple pics. Should have this mounted shortly and continue to wrap up the engine compartment detailing soon. So far I'm really happy at how she's turning out.
