At least it's more erect and not floppy anymore.

I used to have the C&L setup from MAF to upper Plenum. Don't waste your money!!!
The C&L MAF is Junk...it still uses the old outdated flow tubes to trick the computer instead of doing it in the tune. Also the intake piping would get really hot.
Your stock MAF is fine so no need to touch it until you are supercharged.
And if you want a new CAI get a pastic one like Demolet/JLT or K&N FIPK.

Dittos - I still have my C&L inlet tube, but I have 2 C&L MAFs sitting in the 'junk parts' box...more trouble than they are worth.

Im wasted, was gonna say the same thing, than reread the thread!


Fobra- Im a hardcore believer in the stock piping, stock meter, stock tb, etc, with just a kn or the kn kit on the car. Get us some dyno's. I lost power with my aftermarket cold air kit on the dyno so Im curious to see what the results are.

You probably lost power because your CAI piping is metal. Metal gets heaksoaked, which robs power. Stick with the plastic.

nah, tried them both. Been through 3 motors, 2 headswaps, cam swaps, etc. I have dynoed a ton of setups and never really saw any benefit over an open kn.
