Is this all I need or is that it. also if I don't get this exact one do I need the 2.75" Bypass. I have a PVC intake that I want to take out and put something more reliable in.

any old piece of pipe will work. As long as you can adapt the end to fit the TB and support is somehow then it will work. Tell ya what though. To me $50 is a third of a turbo motor. That pipe will get ya maybe, I said maybe 10 hp. A turbo motor gives ya up to 100 hp pretty easily. I stuck with PVC and bid my time until I could go turbo.

Well I can't go turbo because this is my only vehicle and the wifey would not go for it. I realize that any piece would work but from what I understand this particular one is used by numerous 2.3 owners and is pretty much a direct fit. I just wanted to confirm this.
