Has onyone tried just using a MAF adapter and 9" filter, i mean teh problem with an intake is the filter housing not the intake tube right?

The K&N filter I'm using is 9inches long [counting the 1" flange]and 7inches wide[the biggest I could fit in there] I then made my own custom sealed heat shield, so that the filter can only suck air in from the original fender hole and in from around the head light. I also made my own MAF adapter. It works great, after over 30 passes at the track, testing all the CAI's I could get my hands on,as well as testing several of my own design, this setup has gotten me the best times.

Thats good to hear, thats the biggest fitler that i think you can fit in there so those times back up it flow characteristics, how did you make you MAF adapter? you got any pics

I just used the stock "plate" that bolts to the MAF. I put a little bit of oil on the inside of the rubber flange on the filter, then heated it up with a hair dryer so it was nice and stretchy and slipped it over top of the protruding opening of the stock plate and then put a hose clamp over it to hold it in place. I then made a mold out of cardboard for the heatsheild, trying different designs till I got it just the way I wanted it, then using the perfected cardboard mold, made one out of black plexi-glass by heating and bending it, to the exact measurements.

I bought mine from the used parts section of one of these boards. I'm also running a 9" K&N. CanadaStang, I'd be interested in seeing your custom heat shield - I've been trying to design one myself, but it's such a tight fit. Please PM me if you have any pics or info to share - thanks!
