Default Completed Ram Air conversion. PICS

Finally got it all completed. GM wants $160 for the piece that connects the MAF to the throttle body. I custom made my own for like $6 + frustration. No place had any K&N's in stock, so I will wait and order one next week.

I've had the hood, but never the airbox.

looks good man, i have the same one, SLP just started making them again...well i say that loosely. They actually took GM "pontiac" ones and shaved off the top and sold them as there own, you can still see the indention of the words on the back side, i don't know about the new ones though.

Beautiful. Also, if you needed help for putting on the rubber pipe between the maf and TB, just stick the piece in boiling water, it softens it up.

I bought the top and bottom filter cover from SLP and custom made the fittings to connect it. I still need to add a K&N and a seal so it will seal to the hood.

I coupled the MAF to the throttle body with a 3"-4 PVC rubber adapter, and cut the edges off to shave the size down. and i reused the connector from my old elbow to couple the air box to the MAF.

And if yeah I need a MAF extension

Yep, its got a 120 wet shot hooked up. But I have not sprayed it at all yet, I currently have platinum plugs in the car, and I didn't plan to change the plugs until I get headers on. I'm gonna change the spark plugs, install headers, and do my first spray all in one.
