alright, my car came with a mac cai on it. it looks all nice and all but i've heard that they mess with the a/f becasue the position of the maf before the bend in the piping.

well, i was looking at picking up a used Tunable Induction cai because i've heard such better things about it and it seems like a great price for it.

the question is, the maf seems to be positioned the same on the tunable induction one as it is on the mac one. so how much of a difference will swapping the mac for the tunable induction one get me?

I'm thinking that since the TI one has a longer pipe before it, even with the bend where it is, and has another bend, it's not known for creating the turbulence. Dunno...could just be making that up. Anyways, I'd say the TI is your best bet for a CAI.

I wouldn't worry about it if your not having any problems. I wouldn't think it would mess it up enough to cause a problem any ways.

If you really don't want the Mac CAI. then buy the JLT RAI or CAI, it seems to be the best working one out on the market

Id do that then and see if you can notice any difference. If you can sell your other one, if you cant, keep the one that looks better and sell the other for some cash.

I personally did that myself. I had a mac straightshot CAI then switched to the demolet TI CAI. I like the TI better and I might have picked up 1 whole hp at the flywheel lol but its great for planning on doing a supercharger cause its 100mm to the maf then 77mm after it.
