Wow, that is cool man. I didn't see the link last night, but the front end was kind of a dead giveaway to me that it was a Jeep.

Heh. Yeah they're pretty unmistakable. I couldn't get ahold of the guys from Nasty Performance today, never got a phone call back from them. Somebody bug them and tell them to check their voicemail

Here's the progress so far




As you can see, it was about 2" too big. Measured how far I could shove it onto the intake manifold, and drew a line on the elbow and cut it down. Fits like a glove



Picked up the MAF from Advanced Auto and the couplers from the local hardware store. This so far has cost $200.
