I was looking at anderson ford's power pipes, and i love them, they say they are made for the bigger Pro-M mass air meters.... I would really want to know if the n/a powerpipe would work on my C&L 73mm MAM... Just a question thanks guys =)

i can't answer your question, but...don't expect to see any hp gain with the powerpipe, do it for the looks if you want, but not the power.

yeah, i know its going to mainly for the looks, but i saw one on grovers car and i love the looks of it, not expecting anything really, they had a dyno of before and after of something like 11hp gain with it, but who knows under what circumstances...

yeah, they look way better than that ugly stock POS. i just wanted to make sure you knew what you were getting. I'll bet the 11hp was on a 600-700hp car.

A powerpipe is a lot different than a CAI.

You will see gains, it has been dyno proven

ditto, Powerpipes are not knock offs of the cheasy CAI kits. They will add HP and they will add boost when used in supercharged applications.

They do have 3.5 inch powerpipes that you can use with a 73mm MAF. I have a 75mm Pro-M on my convertible with an AFM 12-inch Cone Filter.

Will the 3.5 inch power pipes still make a good power gain over my stock airbox?

the problem with the C&L meters is they are desgined for the stock air box, I would think there would be potential for poor idle and generaly 'Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me'ty driveibility with it in the fender.

And yes a 3.5" will follow tons more air than stock.
