Wrong Intake? - 8/19/2006 2:17:14 AM

I'm kinda confused...I bought a new cold air intake, it says it fits my car, filter came with it, and all clamps, even the small filter for the breather tube. My confusion comes when it comes to the MAF Sensor....there's no place to put it in the pipe. The destructions don't even say anything about the sensor either, and I know i have to have it, so what's the deal? I'm thinking it's the wrong one, there's a hole close to one of the ends of the pipe, which I'm assuming is where the breather tube would go?? It fits weird if I turn it around, plus the sensor don't even fit there, I'll look more but jeez I'm confused. Never had this problem before...

did you ever find anything out about this?
you got me kind of worried about it and thats why i havent bought the intake i want yet. I see the pictures of these intakes with no MAFs or connectors and it kind of makes me wonder.
let me know if you figure anything out.
and good luck makin it work

I had to measure out the connection and drill a hole to fit it in there. Thank god I work on aircraft already in the Air Force, it's pretty much what I do all day. Anyways, that's it, just measured and drilled!!
