3.5 MAF Pipe

It sure would be nice to have one for the guys running ls1 maf & trans.


RJC?

hello: So far TR Custom parts is the only one marketing one and Tin Man says he's in the process. I'm going to try something myself and if it doesn't pan out I'll wait as someone will cum up with more of a choice.

3.5" MAF Pipes Been making them for years. Choice of plain, polished aluminum or chrome plated steel. Why wait for months for a non supporting vendor to make one??

Bigwood racing was making a real nice one piece pipe, but I'm not sure they are anylonger. Maybe hadn't received enough orders to make it worth while to produce. Too much fancy welding involved. :frown:

I have a BWR one. Picked it up from Brian @ G-Body. Real nice piece!!!

Had mine

Made by [ur50slo] came out great

hello: BostonGn what CAI are you using? Also no one has a 3.5" pipe on there site except TR Customs. Now Gbodies has one? Or is it a special order?

BWR pipe Right here on G-Body's site: GBodyParts.com Online

I'm running this pipe, LS1 MAF, a 45* polished bend from TR Customs, and a 3.5" filter under the bumper. Basically combined a bunch of pieces and made my own CAI.

TR Customs, as far as I know, are the only ones that sell a "complete" 3.5" cold air kit.

hello: BostonGn I've been to G-bodies site a few times and never seen that. I just order a few pcs. to make my own and we'll see what happens. I' m going with a TinMan CAI as he was the originator but I want a perfect fit and I don't know if I'm going to get it with the pipes out there or what I'm trying.
How long have you had that translater in that location? I'll have to cum up with a location for mine soon.

maf pipe

Here's mine. Make them myself.

Here is mine

This one a good friend give me it and has not asked for it back like most so called friends do.

hello: All these examples are nice but anyone use one with a TinMan CAI? I'd like to see that and where you got it.

Are there any issues with the 3.5 pipe, rubbing against the alternater or anything?

the bolt & nut on the side of the alt will rub threw it if you dont put a cover on it .. Thats all ..

Depends on how well the pipe is designed.

How about yours Mark? Any rub issues, like Oil Man says?

here's what i did .. I put a vacume plug over the bolt end then cut a peice of hose to cover the nut all is good .. At first i used a nut cover for like a swing set but with heat the plastic broke .. Hope this helps .. Its really no big deal but i thought i could save some the troble of finding out the hard way like i did ..& YOU WILL NEED AN IAC RELOCATER KIT SO IT POINTS TOWARD THE FUEL PRESURE GAUGE AREA .. THE IAC THAT IS ..

Thanks, Oil Man. And thanks on the heads up on the "IAC Relocater" advice.

Plenty of adjustibility of the pipe within the connectors so it doesn't rub. One thing I have done in the past to pretty much eliminate any chance of rubbing is to cut off the extra threads on that damn stud that sticks out. These pics show it cut off and that is my FOUR inch MAF pipe I use with a Z06 MAF sensor. I use one of our solid upper radiator pipes so don't use the clamp that bolts on to that stud that holds the stock upper rad hose. But even if you still do use it you can still cut off a few threads.

Hey "TurboDave" whose pipe and size of it - is the one shown in your picture, a few post above?
