Not Me!!!

I used a 76mm---63mm Reducing Samco 90' Bend. This is then coupled to a 76mm Alloy ring. This in turn is fitted to the Black 90mm--76mm Reducing elbow that comes in a K+N 57i Kit.

I had to trim the Black K+N piece down quite considerably so as to fit the MAF in under my FMIC hose, but it all sits sweetly now!!

(Kinda helps if you re-locate the Power Steering Tank too!! )

got to laugh, you picked the most overcast day day going to photograph your car
I get the idea though and will be following suit, cheers for the pics

Ive just bought a K&N kit for a 99 car 2nd hand so will have a better look-see when it arrives.
Ive also butchered my maf housing at either end to make it as short as possible, In the process I have junked the mesh slip
Cant see any issues but the voices in my head are wailing already!
