help my freind is a 4th gen driver and im having a real problem with his advice
i have a k&n filter i got from a guy that said it was from an 85 now i drive an 86 ta but here is the dilema the k&n filter has an oval opening not a round one like one the end of my MAF now my freind says put the filter directly on the intake at the moter it would fit but what about the MAF? he said unhook it? now im shure my car wont run without it so im looking for ant help i can gett besides my freind is an idiot (i know that)

 

I'm pretty sure your friend is wrong. Sure your car may run without it, but you will pull codes and your enginge will run like crap. Keep the MAF. That is, unless you want to change you setup to speed density.

i'm pretty sure the car wont run with out a MAF. i drive the same year, and have a round cylinder-like K&N filter with the old setup, drilled box though.

i did see a setup online where a dude used 3" PVC piping (cheap found in any hardware store) and it connected to the MAF with a circular opening. i was a cone Filter for another make car. didnt spend much either.

yeah i hooked up the way he said just to test it out as soon as i gave it a little gas on came th service soon light so im gonna build me a setup thanks for your in put if anyone has pics of there setups please post pics.

 

jobryan26 and I both had cold air intakes with conical air filters on the end of pvc. Be forewarned: the pvc will melt over extended usage. If you want to build a GOOD QUALITY LONG LASTING setup, click on the link below. The pics are big, but the tech article is behind the link on the page.

If you have any questions, email me. I'm trying to get thirdgen.org to put the info up as a tech article, but they won't email me back.

now that setup ROCKS!!!

i would have to agree with EYECANDY, and not stick with the PCV setup. plus, this way, you wont be paying off the *yin-yang* for a brand name, although they do dyno test and are proven HP gainers...,

BUT, that is beside the fact. you'll feel good about the custom work, and i bet the gain isnt all that far apart, if any...
