$15 short ram intake

was $15 for the MAF sensor adapter, and i had the filter already.


also took out the resonate'r and put a filter on the valve cover breather.


and made a little mounting bracket with a rubber strip to allow it to mave a little

Hhmm?, well, can't say I've ever seen that before.
It does look like some type of secondary filter.

Looks like a heat shield to me or a hydrolock preventer for the short ram (to prevent water from getting in through the filter resulting in hydrolock in the cylinder, which causes basically the entire engine to seize).
