Since this picture I added a 3" cold air draw from the airbox to the fenderwell. I still need to add a plenum above the TB. (Stock one works ok, but a better can be designed.) I also need to put a scoop in the fenderwell to aim air into the airbox. So with the plenum on, you only need a 45, the straight (6-8"?) piece to connect to the plenum, and the 3" piece to go from the air box to the fender. Is that correct? Or will the straight piece off the 45 not connect to the plenum correctly? I've never been 100% sure of exactly what was needed for your setup with the plenum left on. -Peter

So it would be; Plenum -> 3" Coupler -> Length of 3" pipe -> 3" 45 degree coupler -> MAF -> Airbox -> Length of 3" pipe -> Fenderwell Frank McCoy aka Mod-deth aka Mid Life Crisis aka SVT Doood aka mcgainer is a SCAM ARTIST Pre98 Zetec - Some Mods

You can monkey around with leaving the intake plenum on all day if you want to, but ultimately it is just cheaper and less of a hassle to buy one and just be done with it. Besides, your probably going to waste $50 or more just trying to cobble somthing together with the stock airbox anyway. 95 Contour, Custom EVO bodykit, 2.0l, PNP Focus head, Stage 2 cams, Je pistons, Eagle rods, 4in1header, 2.5" header back exhaust(complete stainless), D P nitrous, ram air intake, 10mm wires, flamethrower.

I'm feeling lazy so it won't happen right this instant. I'll do it this weekend. I'll try to put in both of mine, SleeperZ's, and find a modified CTA/GMK one. Who was it that had that one?
