            To install the new filter and pipe, the old filter. The chambers
            in the black "hat" are resonators. I'm not going to
            go through this step by step. Most of us can figure it out. Keep
            in mind that the PVC pipe will pass MUCH less heat then a thin
            walled aluminum or steel pipe. About mounting the filter, I used
            a mounting bracket that came with a radio. I drilled a hole in
            the PVC, used a nut & bolt on the PVC pipe and then used
            the mounting bolt & nut for the OEM air filter box.
            
    
            The K&N Filter I got has a 4' opening (opps my mistake in
            the ordering of it) part #  RF-1008 it has a nice chrome
            end cap (big deal- not!) I used a 4' to 3' PVC  reducer
            and then ran 3' pipe to the TB. Drilled a hole and put in a treaded
            pipe fitting for the black breather hose on. This was done on
            the back of the first 90deg. Bend.  Then I wrapped it foam
            backed aluminum tape and then a layer of just aluminum tape for
            a smother look. I also cut back the rubber flap next to the radiator,
            about 4*6 inches to allow front cool air to the filter. I put
            an electronic thermometer in right at the TB. Once up to hi-way
            speeds the air coming into the TB has as 3-4 deg. rise from the
            outside air. That's a topic by itself.
            
I hope this helps.
            
Have fun
