[chas]

noticed this at slp's web site the other day:

wondering if this would fix the v6 intake.

[Dominic]

That looks rather awesome, I wonder if it would work as well? $50 isnt cheap of course.

[Camaro Bob]

Gee, plastic seems to be becoming a precious metal these days...50 bucks? Man. [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

I think I rememebr Thunder RAcing carrying a similar product for under $30 a while back. It was a rubber peice though, no baffles, same as that.

[Need2MoreCylinders]

What exaclty is the point of this product? Is it really worth getting?

[Blue Flame V6]

Go but a 3inch PVC pipe coupler and sand the line off the inside it is the exact same thing. I was one of the dumbasses who bought the thing from thunderracing. :mad:

[Need2MoreCylinders]

did you notice even the slightest difference?

That's what I did [img]smile.gif[/img]

well it is expensive but its not rubber, its silicone. silicone will have much better heat/oil resistance.

will it make a difference? yes. one of the big reasons for the maf screen is the air coming back from intake is turbulent. this would help remove some more of that turbulence. that multi-rib rubber bellows is just overkill.

as for the pvc pipe coupler, i would like a little flexing between the engine and the intake.

I notice that this part is for 98 and up, will it work for a 97? Us poor 97 and older 3.8's get no respect, no chips and a goofy slanted TB. (ok, I know the 98's have the slanted TB as well, but they got the new version of the airbox.)

O there was a noticable difference w/ this mod.

I just ordered mine. :D

[Damien214]

This looks like it is designed for LS1 equipped cars where the maf is located in the air intake hoes and then goes to the TB, we have a maf in the TB and there would be nowhere to mount it, this is made to go from the maf to the TB on LS1 and LT1 cars

[TheBeast]

Ya, after working on my car today I noticed that the MAF is part of the actual TB housing and you can't put anything inbetween it. Oh well, when I talk to SLP I'll double check just to make sure.

even though the maf is part of the tb, there is still a bellows going from the air cleaner lid to the tb housing. the ribs in this bellow cause turbulence. the question is, what is the inside diameter of the slp bellows.
