Difference in '97 airbox and '00?

[BamaDrewski]

I just pulled some spares off a '97 T4R V6 and the air box looks a little different than on the 2000. Anyone ever seen this before? I am not sure if the evap canister is the same but I pulled it too with a NICE, brand new looking throttle body!

Yup. Any write-ups about 3rd Gen 5VZ-FE intakes or MAF Sensors will typically make note of the differences between '96-'98 intakes and '99-'02 ones.
