Just those 2 years. In 90 there's no provision for the MAF.

you'll need the air cleaner cannister too, but as long as you've got it all it shouldn't be a problem.

If I were you I'd get some 3" pipe, bend it, fit the MAF on it, and stick a cone filter on the end down where the stock airbox is. If I ever mod my GTA I'm going to do that.

That first picture is a SLP cold air induction. I have since ripped that off and sold it. It was kinking too much when I swapped to LT1 intake due to it sat so much farthar forward.

I have since fabbed a dual 3" air intake.

Well, it's going to require some custom fabbing. If you're not able to do that sort of stuff, it's probably a moot point. I imagine you could use some rubber couplers between the MAF and the pipe tho.

I wanna do it out of alluminum piping to shine it up real nice, I wonder if a muffler shop will bend for me. otherwise I'll get ABS piping from Home Depot and do it that way.

ABS or PVC will look like hell.

A muffler shop can bend it, but it'll bottle-neck it. Having some sort of undustrial supply/ machine shop type of place do it would probably be your best bet. I wouldn't be surprised if they even had some sort of contraption with a 90* bend already in it.

Im interested in fabing one up out of Alluminum 3" pipe with mandrel bends just cause I wanna polish it and have it shine with nice straight pipes, I e-mailed ufflex for a price for 2 pipes, each with a 90 degree bend in them towards the end to try and do it the way I have in my head.

IF that doesnt work out, I'll let you know, how much would you want and do you have any pics of the stuff.

Here's what I did after the SLP CAI:

It's still a work in progress, I will eventually move the battery in the back.

I made the "dual" piece from two 3" long elbow PVC at the home center.

The filters are universal K&N's part number RU-2510. They are clamp on 3" filters.
