Where is your MAF sensor? Was it attached to the other filter area?

Re... done. The belt sander came in handy for ovalling the ABS pipe to fit the hole. Just need to figure out what to do with the other 21.5 inches of it that's left over. :)

I bought a 3" PVC pipe. Cut it to four inches. Think this would be a problem, figure I could just slide it in as the PVC couldn't be tightened by clamps.

Thats exactly it. You remove the snorkel leading to the fender wall and replace it with 3" PVC. The opening on the OEM snorkel (at least on my truck) was about half the size. Not a huge gain on a stock motor, but letting the motor breathe better does seem to help on hard passes.

Or you can just buy our polished aluminum 4.5 inch mandrel bent cai kit with hardware and heatsheild for only $179.00 plus s&h. This GOTTS thing is similar to the mod We used to do on the Mark VIII's and that wasn't worth 1hp.

The problem is ALL the tubing in general. opening up ONE area does Nothing at all. Open it ALL up with a free flowing oiled open element filter deos HELP alot. We have seen 5+ on the dyno and I personally have had a 1.2 mpg increase PRE-programmer. It's 4 years old andd FILTHY but you get the idea.

So how much extra power or fuel mileage has anyone experienced with this Mod? Is it worth it?
