Ok, so 3" MAF intake pipes are fine, a more free flowing MAF sensor added in helps.
So, now, I'm not trying to start a giant debate over this or anything of the sort, I'm just curious, I like to know why.
If the smaller 3" intake pipe has more then sufficient flow, why do some of you go bigger?
I had just searched through and found several threads on here, on how there is a bad turbulence in the 4" pipes, which screws up idle and low throttle. Which is just confusing to hell for me, and why I'm asking so many why's. It seems flow is fine, and less issues with stock size pipe on under 10 second cars. So what made you who have gone to 4", go there?

Will a translator work with a ls7 card style maf? Just trying to plan out my future mods and plan on running a 4 pipe to the turbo. Would a 5pin to 3 pin harness need to be used?

I just upgraded my MAF setup from a homemade one out of 4 inch PVC Home Depot special to an aluminum 4 inch one that is perfect for the LS7 maf sensor, and this part is cheap at $30: Spectre 9705. The slot LS7 sensor itself I got from full throttle as well as the 5 wire converter and the...

Hello everyone, I wanted to bring this topic up for discussion. Recently my stock MAF went on me, and now I am looking to find a suitable replacement. Since I was doing it all over, I figured I would just go with a 4" set-up and never have to worry about it again. I've been reading and...

Also I read about turbulence from the fans causing issues as well, but as long as the AC is placed off to the side where the charcoal canister is, it shouldn't be an issue.
But, is there an issue with turbulence where you mount your MAF sensor in the intake tube, whether it's closer to the ac, mounted mid tube, with it without the screens. I know the purpose of the screens is to straighten airflow.
