Does anyone know a reputable and inexpensive place to buy parts for the air box. I just bought a buddies hood and box, but he's missing the pieces that go from the box to the mass air and from the mass air to the TB. Does anyone know where to get these or how to fabricate replacement parts? I haven't looked around much, looks easy to fabricate, but where can I buy the stuff? Ideas?

Any ideas on how to improve those 97' style hoods to 1) reduce weight, 2) improve the ram air system and seal?

 

1)Its not that heavy

2)You can trim the baffles out of the hood, I'm pretty sure Fred (Injuneer) did it to his car.
a 3" rubber pipe coupler (fernco) will work fine on the MAF-TB connection, not sure on the box-MAF, the dealer might have a decent price on it.

 

I just hose-clamped my MAF right to the box. With the Fernco, it was the correct length/distance. All you have to do is kinda unravel the MAF wires from the sleeving and it will reach the MAF.
