Reworked my Cold air intake

So I reworked my Air intake today and added a Maf sensor housing from spectre Performance, Looking at the results on my OBDII reader chart on my Iphone it seems to be bringing up the midrange and top end performance a little, (I believe) Next will be to clean the engine bay and maybe give the valve cover a polish.
I also removed the front shroud of the top of the rad because it was blocking the inlet alittle and see if that helps, I didnt wanna cut

Any noticeable gains in performance? And what did it cost you all said and done?

The most important thing is the width of the MAF sensor pipe internally I used a kit for the maf sensor and I bought the rest of the tubing etc, $35 canadian free shipping the filter and pipe and connectors were from ebay another $45 canadian.


The internal plastic sleeve comes with three reducers on my car I used the 2.5" and swapped in my MAF sensor from my stock airbox using the appropriate adaptor.

I've installed it and looked at my # with Iphone and Dash Command for what its worth, and it induction noise is up mid RPM and upper Rpm not any major HP increase, but it seems to rev alittle faster quicker better throttle responce, but im sure headers and a pipe will help too as I get the cash and time.:)

Nice and it looks like it would readily flip over to the passenger side to allow room to change the oil filter
