I installed the MAC straight shot(no MAF)today in my fairly stock 02 GT today. I can tell you right now, it looks very pretty but in order for me to install mine correctly, I had to take about 1 to 1 1/2 inches off the elbow pipe where it joins to the MAF. And let me tell you, that pipe is thick and freakin' HEAVY!
Once installed and re-polished up from the hack saw usage, I must admit, it fit snug and looked pretty good.
As for performance, it was decent. Kinda felt like the difference between running with a FULL tank of gas, vs. a completely empty(gas light on)gas tank.
I had the batt. disconnected throughout the install, and hooked it back up and drove the crap out of it for 20 to 30 minutes like MAC suggests. The most noticeable difference I thought was a good 4th gear pull on the interstate, seemed to be more "free".
Honestly, I'm not real happy with it, but only reason for purchase was that my OE rubber intake hose ripped around my 75mm throttle body. Steeda may have been a better choice for fit reasons, but im not spending over 200$ for a MOD that I "might" feel.
I still need to remove the elbow one more time to drill a hole for the N20 nozzle and try a few runs with the 100shot, but I dont forsee it making a difference.
