Ok so here is my set up top to bottom (minus my cold air scoop, its too hard to take pictures of and I didnt feel like taking it all out to show ya's)
So like I said you need a piece of 3'' steel pipe 13inches long (mine was 14 inches and its too long, but I was too lazy to get out a hacksaw and cut it)
your gonna butcher your stock system
so be careful, make sure you want to do this before you start as there is no going back once you start!
to get started take your old stock system out and remove the two hose pieces from the air chamber. Take the top rubber elbow and fit it over the 3" pipe piece. Its gonna be a really tight fit and you want to be careful not to split it. I found that using a hair dryer to warm up the rubber real good gave it more give and reduces the chance that you will split it trying to get it on.
now take the other piece of hose and cut it about 1 to 1.5 inches below the hose fitting that is on the underside of it. make sure you have enough of it to go over your AFM box but not so short that the fitting ends up blocked when its stretched over the AFM. If in doubt cut it long and test fit everything first. then adjust as needed. Its also going to be a tight fit over the AFM, but using the hair dryer and some screwdrivers you can force it over kind of like doing a bicycle tire, again take your time and be careful not to split it.
Put your filter on your AFM, fit the 3" pipe to the elbow now stretched over your AFM, (you should now have a complete system, from the top elbow all the way to the filter) and fit the whole unit onto your Throttle body. Tighten all your hose clamps if you havent already. You will likely need to bend the mount bar for the AFM to make it line up and bolt to the inner fender, but it should be pretty close at this point.
Done! one clean nice intake system for next to no cost. I used steel wool on my pipe to shine it up some, but you could paint it you wanted to as well.
