thanks man, thats very much appreciated. And it is simple. And cheap. The most expensive thing to it is the filter. which wasnt that much at all. And another great thing about it, is I have driven with it in HEAVY rain. I didnt have much of a choice, but I did, and no problems whatsoever. So The only issue I would have with this, is if I tried driving through a HUGE puddle. which I wouldnt do anyways, it could hydro lock. But I wouldnt do that anyways so im not worried.

You mean strait to the front bumper? As in a strait pipe? Im not sure. I could look at my car when I get back to the shop tomorrow.

Hey, xfg2x, did you have to cut that piece where the metal piping has to wrap around? I'm talking about the metal piece in front of the wheelwell. It looks like it is to make the metal piping fit.
No its not cut. I attempted to dremel it off, but the steel is so hard, it warped the carbide bit I was using , and it actually snapped. I wasnt using eye protection ( stupid me ) and luckily it didnt fly into my eye, or any other part of me lol. But, im gunna talk to my technician at my body shop and see if he can cut that piece out a bit. He might not since its a pinch weld and he doesnt want to be responsible for any accidents. So idk. As of now, I just have that part of the tubing wrapped with a LOT of aluminum tape, and a LOT of duct tape to give it some rigitity (sp?) and some cushioning from the duct tape.
