Well i bought a MAF adapter from KKM and took it to a metal shop and asked how much it would cost to make it. So we casted it and tried to make one and got pretty good results. The final cost was $20 because of the casting and all that but if i wanted more it would cost like $8 a piece for the adapters, add that to a K&N Fulter for $35 bucks. And you get an alternative to the KKM intake with a better quality filter for under $50. Does anyone see a problem with a casted aluminum MAF adapter?

Filter i used.

I don't think there would be a problem. It's rubber and plastic elsewhere and older mafs were aluminum. I'll have to check and see if my Pro M has the same size opening, as I could use one of those!!

How much were they elsewhere?
 
i will take one

I will take one if you are going to make them. let me know the cost. thanks. :iconcur:
 
I can definately feel the difference, It didn't really make it sound too different, just a little louder. When you rev or smash on the pedal you hear a big gulp of air. I have no idea on an actual HP increase. Should be identical to the KKM except i am using a different filter.
 
i will try to find that out this week. i think like 15-20. not too many. but i am 19 and on a real tight budget.
 
i understand

count me in for one and i dont think you will have problem selling them. I will spread the word and see how many people i can get intresed.

Id be in :)
 
Ok heres how i *think* its going to work. They want to massproduce 100 at $9. I need a rough estimate on how many people want them. Then i will distribute them at cost. Then SRT Motorsports, a local speed shop, will hold the rest of the inventory and sell them at a price of their disgression...

I am going to look at other metal shops around here to see if i can get a deal going on a smaller quantity.
 
what would be a good price that you all would want to buy the Maf ADAPTERS at? Not including filters or anything.
 
The questions should be what would you want for it. I will pay a far price for the part and your time let me know what you are thinking.
 
Answer.

Couple Of Reputable Companies Sell Them For $17.99

I didn't know there was a car that had the same size maf. They may have 3.5" inlets though
