I found a solution for my setup and it cost me less than a hundred bucks and imo looks and flows much better than the new ati piece.
Re: ATI new inlet tube
just an update on the inlet. The kit did not come with a clamp to clamp the 90 deg rubber elbow to the plastic part that connects directly to the head unit. I didn't think it was necessary because the rubber elbow was a tight fit over the plastic end. I put a maybe 150 miles on it as is...and a few hard runs down the road, seemed to work fine.
However...today I go to take it out for a short joy ride, and before I got down to the end of my street...i hear something hit the floor...and tumble under my car! Sure enough, it was the filter, the metal bend, and the rubber elbow. The rubber elbow slipped off the plastic...i guess it was my fault for not clamping it, but none of the clamps included would fit over the rubber and allow room for it to stretch over the abs plastic opening. Anyways, my filter was crushed...lol, so I ordered a new one and went to home depot and got a big *** clamp...that sucker isn't coming off again.

Yeah. The stock bracket for the 4th gen body style was never going to fit. It put the unit in the way of the steering box. I went through a lot of templates before I got it right.
I'm surprised I got it to fit that good. I literally can't move it an inch up down left or right or forward or backward. I could have made the bend a little wider but I wanted to keep it under the stock hood.
