I'm going to order a PRO-M 80mm MAF. Should I go with the shorty or the regular version. I'd like to get the shorty because I think it would be easier to fit in the fender. It says the shorty is generally used on S/C vehicles. Can I get it right with my twEECer?

Thanks

Jake

Don't even know why they make a long version. Anytime you can get a shorty version of anything then buy it. There is no difference in performance other then they have a 3 inch extension bolted to the housing.

It looks like the shorty has a bigger filter if that means anything.



I think I'll go with the shorty if there's no difference in calibration. Thanks Joe.

The filter looks the same size... The Shorty one is just closer because its not as tall as the other one so the whole filter/maf is larger in that picture.

While we are on the subject; I have a home made CAI with 3" PVC and Fernco and the stock mass air meter. I recently purchased the shorty 80mm Pro M and the opening measures 3.5". What do I need to change to attach the new meter to my CAI?

Home depot sells a rubber conector that goes from 3" to 3.5". Try one of those..
