Get the 76MM with the tru inlet pipe.. That will allow much higher flow than the 73mm/stock snorkel tubing crap...

Um, do the smart thing, get a 75mm or 80mm, which will be a pro m. It's a real mass air meter, with a new sensor not some tin can with a calibration tube.

C&L sucks, this is a fact, not opinion. Very few real mechanics or shops would use one, they are more of a homeowner thing.

This is an item that is not about brand loyalty, it's about what's better for your car. That sampling tube thing, may work right, but chances are it won't.

And before you say pro m is out of business, the new companies web address is in Daggar's signature.

I went to the C&L website a while back and I think it said the 73mm could support 600+ hp, so I decided to keep my little 73 and spend $$$ on other stuff

Don't believe a manufacturer rating, 600hp lol, no friggin way.

Put an 80mm pro m on your car, i bet you see quite the difference, a 73mm C&l is a joke.
