Looks good! Those clamps look real good...so much better than the parts store worm styleThis is 3.5”/89mm inside diameter 45* and 90* silicone couplers and a 12” 3.5”/89mm outside diameter aluminum pipe. The 90* coupler at the throttle body has a 1/2” hole drilled out for the AIT sensor in roughly the same spot as the OEM tube. I put a little silicone on it for insurance but it went in super snug, twisting it in clockwise like a screw, so there was no damage to it nor opening up the hole unnecessarily. The 2 gripes I have is the 90* isn’t as tall as I would have liked so it pushes the engine cover down a little, and I will need to cut the aluminum pipe down an inch or 2 as there a is a slight distortion where the aluminum meets at the 90* coupler at the TB. All pieces were acquired from eBay and were less than $40 shipped.
I haven’t had a chance to drive it yet, but hitting the gas in my driveway, the throttle response seems better. The only thing left is getting a dry AEM drop in filter (coming from @Nick@GotExhaust here on the 12th). I’m still puttering around with modifying the bottom portion of the air box in a similar fashion others have done with hose going to the grill or another spot outside the engine bay. I may also paint the aluminum pipe with some flat black high temp paint, but I kinda like it as is as it matches up to the other silver/aluminum under the hood.
I will update tomorrow with throttle response review.

Do you have links to elbows, pipe, and clamps? Thanks!
I may try this one, says it has a heat shield, looks like a piece of clear plexiglass , $62 on amazon free shipping.

I wonder what temp readings I am getting on the intake with get out the temp gun and get a report on IAT Reading
I also looked at that wonder if it traps hear during the summer since it's use is headers keep engine bay heat down which increased internal heat
