I guess I should consider a new MAF that is larger as well and mates to the larger air box. Anyone know the P/N of these items?
Look up.....
As to cutting, I do not think anyone has cut into this structural member. They have squeezed silicone hoses through the holes after removing the plastic moldings the OEM intakes fit to. I think these may be two different sizes of tube but I'm not too sure, I'll search for that info, or a friendly member may know and post. Beaner?
