G_A_V it wasnt, but i cut it down, so in the end it was the same size at both ends.

WildRide, cheers mate =)

It also cost me an extra $85 on my insurance, and i just ordered the K&N mini pod for the breather which all up, including pipe etc cost me ~$60

Any other special ideas for a CAI would be appreciated too =)

it looks like the uas one, i wanted to do the same thing, but i hate that pipe that they used, it broke after a couple months, plus it doesnt look like it flows too well.
I was thinking of pulling the mas apart and sticking a whole in a huge intake (like the uas one) and poking the sensor through and sealing it up with silicon. does anyone know if this would work ?

Funnily enough the pipe itself is not too bad. Its a pretty hardy peice & I had a noticeable gain from it compared to the stock pipe. Its the air box that aint real good. I had a bastard of a time fitting it becuase I had a custom bracket holding the pod filter on previously & I had to bend & bugger around to get it all to fit in. I did try too see if i could jam the sensor in as well - and sorta redo all the box mounting spots, but sensor & filter was all just too long.

Dunno if I'd bother with silicon - It doesnt have to be that air tight
