Hard to say quality wise from a small photo. Take a pic close up.

I did the same exact thing. I'll take a picture tomorrow and Post of what I did. I just changed my filter from that shitty specter filter to a K&N filter. My MAF sensor was where you had yours untill I moved it today. My car was hesitant today when first driving it but it had to get used to the idea of being moved around. The new filter cost more then everything else did. I've seen better increase in acceleration time. I didn't paint my tubing either its still silver. How's is yours working for you?
