How did you extend your MAF wires?

There is an extension harness available, plug and play.

How are you guys getting rid of the vibration? Any pics or recommendations?

I wrapped a piece of rubber into my gold heat wrap and it never once vibrated on me.

I love the idea of that intake. Problem is, I'm worried about water getting down in there then being sucked up and noise lvl. I know it's a wonderful noise. But I can't for the life of me remember if anyone had any luck with sound deadening. I daily my car rain or shine on a fairly far commute.

They sell the K&N filter “membrane” which has a nice water repelling coating... I drive mine in the snow and have literally taken it through the high pressure car wash multiple times, no problems so far

I heard of people putting a piece of foam underneath the pipe where it contacts the metal

I should be getting mine in the next few weeks. Has anyone entertained putting a door seal around the hole cut in the cowl to prevent water access? I’m considering it but also wondering if it is worth the effort.

Not sure that would be worth it considering you can see the filter from the top of the cowl. Get one of the air filter socks in case of a downpour, that's what I did when I had a 2J intake

I didn’t even think of that... thanks. I got the socks I think it should be just fine considering no one has seemed to have an issue over the years

Whatever the performance gain, it’s not worth the noise. Maybe for a race car, but not a daily.

I actually can’t wait to daily it lol. I love obnoxious though. It’s kind of why I could never really see myself in a luxury car or anything that isn’t a little wild

Agree lol. I ended up getting rid of mine when I went S280. I picked up 15whp over the 2j with a full intake.

Well, you might as well go for some weight reduction by removing the stereo......

yeah but I get to hear my induction system scream at me, can’t wait. This is also coming from a guy who listens to death metal and hardcore, so maybe I’m used to discord and disarray.
