OK, this is unrelated. I feel stupid asking this, but what size is the stock 2001 downpipe?
What miller_feed said (3 1/2") and I think it has a restrictive non-mandrel bend to slide down along the firewall to exit the bottom IIRC. Haven't upgraded exhaust yet, but it's on my wish list.

It detects the air temperature at the intake. From what I understand most people zip tie it to the brake line. Anywhere close to the filter will be good enough. If you are looking for what to do with the filter minder, here's a link to installing in on your filter: Welcome to guzzle's 6637 Filter Restriction Sensor Web Page
The 6637 is my next project and all the stuff is in my garage just waiting for me.
Now if I only had a couple of hours and some beer...
What, you planning on drinking beer for an hour and and a half before you start?
I have a wife, 2 kids and SoCal traffic. I'll need the hour and a half to "relax" so that I have a steady hand to drill the hole for the filter minder...

throw the filter minder in the trash (its not calibrated for the higher flow of a 6637) and get to it man.
If you decide to not attach the minder, don't disconnect it. Just tie it up out of the way.
It's easier to have it than to toss it out and possibly start throwing codes or something not working.

Right after I deal with my rear pumpkin. The spot on the lower left has grown into a good sized oil stain in the last couple of days so that has moved to the top of the list. Taking the time to reseal the cover doesn't irritate me as much as the $17/qt for the Mobil 1 (4 1/2 quarts of it). I just changed the fluid a couple of months ago too!

Filter minder not attached to anything but the filter housing. I think you are thinking about the Air Intake Temp Sensor and your are correct, tie wrap it to the the brake line.

Catch it, strain it, reuse it. And get to it like Brandon said.

I have the rear cover and also the front seal leaking. Damn, I hate crawling under that thing. The rear seal is no problem. I will have to take it to the stealership to have the front seal put in. Impact wrench is not strong enough.
Actually, the air intake temp sensor does a good job of warning you immediately of unsafe temps. Say you're towing, and climbing a Mt., it will warn you if your temp gets to high (that means back it down right now).
I drilled a hole in the 4" connecter pipe, pop'd in a rubber grommet with a hole size that grips the air intake temp sensor tightly, and it's done.
Seeing as it sucks air rather than blowing, it's not going to leak, and won't come out, unless I want to pull it.
Pictures are available if one wants to see the set up.
And whatever you do, do not disconnect it. It will drive your computer crazy. Like glow plugs not working when it is -20 outside.
that being said, what else does the air intake temp effect? I would think fueling like a gasoline engine. colder, denser air needs more fuel. of couse the turbo heats the crap out of the air....
I put mine in front of the filter where the air comes in from the stock tube (plus a hole in the core support) it's probably 20 degrees cooler there, FWIW.
