I'm joining in late here. I had posted this on the SaturnFans forums, but cfg83 asked me to post it here. I just installed this on my 96 Saturn SL:





The bit closest to the exhaust manifold will soon be replaced by an aluminum tube extension. The PVC at the very end gets a bit squishy after a few miles of driving. I moved the IAT sensor to the new intake tube, and blocked off the original air intake opening in the airbox. This is the quick & dirty version. A better effect could be gained by removing the original airbox and tube to the throttle body, and replacing it with a short ram and cone filter near the manifold. This version only cost me a couple of bucks and a half hour of time though. Too early to post results, but the drivability does not seem to be affected.
