If the CAI puts a bend just before the C&L, then you are still likely to have issues.
The stock airbox is the best way to run a C&L meter. This is the only application which they were meant to be used in.
Keep in mind that the stock airbox is a CAI... and will not be a restriction.
If you are going to run a C&L MAF, then the stock airbox is the best way to do it...

I've decided that I want to get my air filter out of the hot engine bay.
I want to be able to still use use my C&L CAI and Meter instead of buying a whole new set up.
The stock air box on here is sold. There is one on ebay, link below.

If you look at the picture from C&L it looks like there's a special coupler that goes between the MAF and the air box. Where would I get one if needed?
My other option was a Kenne Bell Ram Air Intake. I wouldn't use this if my car was a daily driver, but it is used for strip more than street.

Or maybe I could buy an elbow that would go into the fender wall and a fender wall filter.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks
Thanks for the help!!!
I appreciate it!!
Take a serious look at AFM power pipes and PMAS meters if you are running after
market heads and intake. They relocate the filter and the meter to the fenderwell. Cleans up the engine bay nicely and definitely adds more upper end power if you own a modified 5.0 (heads, cam , intake) I am not a fan of the stock airbox unless you have a stock head and intake motor.
Even with a wimpy bbk fenderwll cold air intake my 93 cobra (stock) picked up around 5 rwhp in the upper rpm. I would post up the dyno sheet but that was back in 98 and no longer have the file
I would recommend him to the AFM powerpipes as well, but none of the power pipes with work with the C & L 76mm MAF. You can call anderson to verify, but already have, I wanted to go with a power pipe as well but the C & L is only designed to work with the stock air box.
yeah I know. That is why I mentioned the PMAS meter. From a self EEC tuning standpoint I do not like the C&L stuff. I have seen way to many problems with their meters
I dont get it, i use a bbk cai with a big filter that almost touches the back of my headlight. I also have a mass air meter but i dont have any problems with drivability issues or idle surging.. since im a mile above sea-level would that that be a factor with those issues? I dont oil my filter-manufacture says i dont have to but im still debating if i should.

I bought the car with the C&L already in it. I bought a new Ford Racing GT-40 Crate Engine with B-303 cam and I bought a C&L sampling tube for 40.00 when I changed to 24lb. injectors instead of paying 280.00 for a pro-m to see if it would work ok. I figured $40.00 was worth a try. It works ok actually. I just don't like the filter in the engine bay sucking hot air.
I just bought a stock air box with the coupler on e-bay for $35.00 shipped.
What type and size fasteners do I need to mount it to the fender wall?
What number K&N Filter do I need. Is #33-2015 the right one?
Thanks
Yea, what else would you expect from C&L.I called C&L today about my application. They said, if you have a electric fan, a conical filter will work fine with their MAF. An electric fan, due to the size and air it puts out, will not effect the read on MAF.
