Notice it says 2.25", thats the ID size of the tubing, you want 3" with the prelude kit.
I would make a writeup, but all I did was follow the one from nopistons, so every time I am asked how I did it I just refer people to that one and explain any discrepencies.

^ ooh close call for me. thanks, i'd be kicking myself after i would have bid on that. going to check out the hardware store first, even though i prefer the blue tubing better, its much thinner and just looks nicer.

Hey dDub, what filter is that (obviously K&N but what part number), do you have any better pictures of the filter itself? How does it fit down there, snug or plenty of room? How much did that filter cost you?

Yes it is, but I swear on my life that the rubber couplers are larger than they say because the 3" one is huge. It takes a big to get it onto the tb elbow, but it fits snug. Only problem is you have to tighten the crap out of it to make it tight against the ebay piping.
