what is the part number for the K&N? i used a chevy vortec filter and it took a bit more parts to do it.
Ghetto Fab K&N (56k warning)
got my K&N filter in today. cost me $50 for everything. it sounds freaking cool. i don't care if i gained any power; it sounds and looks much cooler.
heres my write-up so every one will stop asking how you do it.

Remove the old air box and all the other junk.

Since this is ghetto fab time, i needed to find out the length of the tubes i would be making.
![]()
the freaking PVC i used only came in 10 foot lengths. so i made a new exhaust pipe.
![]()
I cut the PVC pipe to 6". not precisely 6", but its in the vicinity of 6".
![]()
i thought this would be the easy way to install it.
![]()
It was much easier to put the pipe on the intake tubes and then jam the filter on.

Done.

ok, like most of my write-ups i didn't do a good enough job the first time....the filter kept popping off the PVC pipe and leaving me without filtered air.
its not hard to do, you just need to get creative:

the PVC bolts to the bracket and the bracket bolts to the inner fender. you can see where the breather line is routed as well.

i think it looks a million times better and its way more solid than before; the filter was pretty much just laying there. K&N does their kit this way as well, so now its an even closer copy of the K&N kit.

the stud at the end of the filter is for the K&N kit, which includes an L-bracket like this.
done, until i find a way to make it better.

This thread inspired me.:beer
I followed the directions, just like you said.
I have it attached to the wall, but I didn't do the brace underneath.
Feels pretty sturdy, we'll see how well it stays. :thumbup
Edit: 8/06 Over two years later, and it's still holding sturdy. I suppose I should probably take it out and clean it, huh? :toothless

yeah mine jumped iirc 3 MPG.
exactly what a lot of us have done cape. I ordered mine of the internet. Then went to a local parts store and bought 2 6" peices of 3" exhaust pipe and painted it with rustoleum. built a bracket to keep it from bouncing.
