C&L TrueFlow and stock parts?

[Red03Mustang]

I need to know if the TrueFlow pipe by itself fits the other stock parts. I have the stock filter housing, MAF sensor, and such. If I get the TrueFlow pipe by itself, will I have all I need to hook everything up and run? Or do I need something else too?

I'm thinking about getting it because I don't think I can use my MAF screen with the K&N Fipk I have. I'd like to leave that screen in. I should've gotten the TrueFlow in the beginning, but I didn't know about it then. The K&N is good though, I can feel more 'oomph'. Not much of course, but pretty good for a CAI I thought.

Here's the link to what I was thinking of getting. Do I have to get their filter kit, or can I hook just this pipe up to the stock stuff?

If you are just talking about the pipe, it will fit just fine with the rest of the intake being stock.

There is no harm in using this. Looks nice and great for adding nitrous.

So then why'd you sell me yours, Mr. Nitrous? (JK)
Seriously, as Blake said, the C&L Trueflow tube fits perfectly with or without their (C&L's) MAF. I've (now) got the tube on my 02 with the stock MAF and my wife (still) has the C&L MAF on (Blake's old) TrueFlow tube. And it is great for adding nitrous too - it has a boss, ready for drilling.
Don't waste your money on the C&L MAF. It simply creates an unstable lean condition (which can make power and also, without proper tuning, can also make your motor go BOOM! )
Enjoy!

Say goodbye to your stock strut tower brace, though. She ain't gonna fit back on. Kinda sucks but now the front end of my lawnmower is nice and tight in the corners.

Strut tower brace? Where is that exactly? I'm not real familiar with that stuff at all. I know enough to install a CAI, and that's about it. What will it effect without that, and how hard is it to remove?

You don't have one, Red03Mustang...at least not OEM. It's a brace that some stangs came with (and you can buy thru many different aftermarket dealers) that ties the shock towers together with the firewall, in a trianguliar shaped tubing configuation. This is not a concern for you.
