Miata MAF Delete and Custom Intake

If you have a custom ECU, you can get rid of the big and restrictive MAF and stock airbox. In this HowTo, I'll create the simplest DIY intake you can image - one 90 degree aluminum elbow and a K&N cone filter plus a simple heat reflecting airbox.

Bend was 2.75 inch aluminum which matches up to the stock 1.8NA crossover pipe. https://amzn.to/2RxRUz4. (Warning the price seems to fluctuate wildly on this pipe, it should be less than $20.)
Filter: K&N RU-3190 : https://amzn.to/2RvTGkd (The product picture was wrong the last time I viewed this but this is the exact one I bought).
I used a tap set from Harbor Freight but you can get this single tab for cheap: https://amzn.to/2XsNgb3 (3/8 NPT)
