sensor thingy? don't know of one on the intake itself. Yea I think getting some exhaust pipes would work better, because it will be smooth inside, not have lips everywhere. And also probably look a little better too.

oh, that little hose. Easy enough, to do, just get a little filter for it. they make them, the hard part is getting that fucker off. Mine wouldn't come off, been on there way too long.

I mean a little filter. Its a small brether filter for it, its not a sensor. And what you just said made no sense to me man.
And what I was saying earlier. With all those different connections you have made in that short distance on your intake with PCV pipe, there is a shitload of little lips inside that will catch the air and slow it down, so seriously, i don't know how much that helped you. With exhaust pipe, it would be smooth and the air would just go straight through it.

PVC has lips in it so airflow wont be as good, u wont see any changes most likely, also its thicker walled and not heat resistant...
they get enuf heat and they could start 2 melt

alright, it might not melt, but it still doesn't help that much over your stock intake.

You should of used a 180 degree bent mandrel pipe.
Club DelSol, or Team DelSol (or sumthin like that) has a How-To on it. I can't remember the address tho.
