Okay so i plan on making my own intake for the hatch and finally got some pics of the MAF mounted on the 3" pipe with the adapter. My only concern is the fact that the MAf is not centered properlly on the tube as in the stock unit. I haven't installed it yet, will do tomorrow. What do you guys think?

I got a 2"-3" coupler for the TB and then it will be this tube/adapter and then the filter. That's all! Hopefully i don't get a CEL for the MAF being off center!

Will let you guys know tomorrow!

Your really better off with the 2". I have a 3" and im going to convert to the 2", performance is the main reason. You wont have the CEL until you really open it up. It feels to ify and it feels like its going to cut out. But!!! I do get some really cool sound out of this but its not worth it.

Bad idea!!! A MAF sensor measures airflow and can't do it correctly with a tube that is a different size than stock. Your NOT gaining performance by doing that and you WILL throw a CEL (check engine light).

yeah that's what i was thinking. i was reading a bit more on this sensor and apparently it's really touchy to any kind of big changes in piping size and mounting location. :mad:

i hate MAF's i would rather have a MAP sensor anytime. i'm still gonna swap it out tomorrow and see what happens. just for the heck of it. if the CEL comes on i'll just erase it with my scanner and throw it back to stock.:frown:

you can put some electrical tape over that cel and forgive and forget
