It looks like something that will not be installed in my car (even if there was a version for mine).

Yeah, that thing is pretty freaking cheap and crappy looking, especially for $150.00. The best part is that it works for both the 1.8L and 2.4L. LOL!

Actually the parts in the photos appear to be a Ractive Filter and a Spectra performance #9405 MAF adaptor kit In some on the other photos it appears several pieces of Spectra Performance #9468 60deg miter cut elbow were used along with a couple pieces of straight pipe and silicone couplers. Probably all the parts from a Spectra #702F Profab Quikit air intake prototyping kit commonly bought by hotrodders and muscle car guy
