But you can turn it sideways and put the long part in then turn it and get it in. Then bolt up to the MAF then the heat shield. __________________ Scion Tc-strup racing header, CAI, Ground Kit, NOS 100shot, Custom suspension, Doc.

Plus it will be easier to fit my ram air to. __________________ Scion Tc-strup racing header, CAI, Ground Kit, NOS 100shot, Custom suspension, Doc.

My body kit made it hard to get to the filter. __________________ Scion Tc-strup racing header, CAI, Ground Kit, NOS 100shot, Custom suspension, Doc.

I didn't even put the heat shield on. there is so much air running through the fenderwell it is pointless IMO and you have more fresh air coming into the engine bay without it. __________________ Scion Tc-strup racing header, CAI, Ground Kit, NOS 100shot, Custom suspension, Doc.
