Its the same inside dima. as the MAF adapter so its not really restricting, except for the screen part. I think I'm going to use it so is there any reason not to?

It is smaller in diameter then the MAF opening thus causing a flow blockage and disruption. Besides there is no provision for it anyway between the Pro-M and a properly sized MAF adapter. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

The adapter I have is smaller (inside dima.) then the MAF. It came with my BAT filter. So I should: A) get new MAF adapter and filter. (Dont really want to.) B)Chuck the screen and open up the adapter to match the MAF C)Leave it the way it is cause the intake pipe is about the same dima. as the adapter. Last edited by KaptonContour; 06/18/04 06:21 PM.

Which I dont have. So you are putting a Pro-M behind the restrictive stock airbox and opening? That would be pretty pointless to have a restriction before the "larger" MAF. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
