it's a mid length , and i bought it w/out TB . Those aftermarket TB's are problematic , the throttle shaft leaks and its hard to get a deceit idle .i bought a Holly Sniper 90mm and used it ( stock is 78mm ) .I didn't want to go to big since i am stock , no cam , no headers

The 4" tubing I purchased from local speed shop/fabricator. He had 2 4" elbows available, 1 small bend & 1 large bend. I picked up a 6" of straight tube & both elbow's, I returned the small elbow.
The couplers are Spectra performance part # 9771, the MAF adapter is a spectra performance 9774. Both were purchased from Amazon. The 110 degree elbow was purchased from Ebay.
The K&N air filter I purchased from the local Advance auto parts.
If I was to do it again I would get a large 4" elbow only. There was enough material cut off of it to make the straight piece out of.
Awesome! Thank you.
1 more question... what MAF are you using, and, does it use the factory connector?

I'm using a Delphi AF10043. It's the common truck 5 wire sensor that includes the intake air sensor.

I moved my reservoir up and back to clear the intake. Keeps the hose short and protected and out of sight. Not quite done yet but it runs.

Is that a camaro intake tube. I picked up one to do something similar to your intake. The problem I see on my setup is the 90 stick out to far and hits the fan shroud.

Not sure what my plans are yet, but this looks pretty interesting. Not sure if anybody has used this kit. Not cheap, but looks like a very customizable option. Plus, it is plastic and will not absorb the heat in the engine bay. $150 at Summit, Jegs, etc with good reviews.

The 90 degree piece off the throttle body is from a GTO (06 I think) the 45 is off the kit SSandfish posted above, my buddy had parts left over from an earlier project. The end 90 degree boot and coupler are from Spetre I got from Amazon.

Here’s mine in progress. 2 UBI 90* elbows and 1’ of straight. Those parts were bought off Amazon individually for about $40. Don’t buy that giant expensive kit, you won’t use half of it.

I cut a 90 in half to make a 45* offset to lower the MAF and filter. I glued the pieces together with Loctite CA. It’s getting sanded smooth and painted. I used a Spectre MAF to 4” adapter and have an accordion style bellows at the throttle body. The coupling at the 90 is temporary until I can establish a final length for the straight leg.
