How to make CAI mid pipe and slightly bore MAF
NOT RESPONSIBLE FROM any DAMAGES
WAI
The first thing you need to get is a tail pipe turn down. It can be gotten from Jegs, summit, or your local speed shop. I used a 3" turn down that I got from my local speed shop for $17.00 and 2 silicone Reducers that I got from Hosetechniques for $19 with shipping
Next you need to figure approximate size and bend of the WAI making sure to leave room for the silicone reducers. I did this by holding the pipe over the rubber hose and marking my cut. It doesn't need to be exact just not to big or small I left about 2" on both sides and mine fit tight.
The next thing you need to get is the pipes that the hose fit on to the intake pipe with. I used some things I found around my shop like a piece of a power antenna for the vacuum and some electrical pipe for the other two. I had the pipes welded by a friend but I heard of people using JB weld.
MAF
I ordered a spare MAF from a junk yard on line So I wouldn't have any down time or permanent problems. It cost $50 with shipping.
The first thing I did was REMOVE THE SENSOR from the top. After that it is safe to work on. I began by using a heavy duty file. I entered the MAF from the EXIT side and filed the ENTER side at an angle, so it would create more of a funnel shape. After I widened the opening with the file I used a dremel to smooth out the roughness. I didn't actually change the size of the hole I just opened the mouth. After it was smoothed with the dremel I further smoothed it with finer and finer sand pare until it had fine scratches. Then I used a polishing wheel to high polish the whole inside. After everything was done I blew it out with an air gun and painted it black with High temp paint
last but not least put everything in your car and enjoy. I put the brass tube from the Valve cover in between the tube and the VC since it had a smaller hole but you could just have that tube welded on to the WAI
