ya a cone filter, you could buy one for 70 bucks. but i make them for free.
 
RE: MAF adapter #2

Nice workmaship@ You should make a bunch and start selling them, become an entrepenuer! Any chance I could get one off of you ? ;)
Oh, I could have sworn i saw someone make one out of pvc coupler or something, anyone know what i'm talking about?? There were instructions posted on the "other" website not too long ago if I am mistaken.
 
RE: MAF adapter #2

So...what is the actual recommended filter for these? The only thing I don't like about the one i have now is how long it is because it is difficult to work with.

Looks like something from "outer space". Clean up those welds and spend some more time cleaning them up. Then I might think about buying one !. JK Brad, looks pretty good. Keep up the good work.

RE: MAF adapter #2

Jon the welds are perfect, Im more concerned about the back of it, I made it rounded and its smooth as a babys ass.

Brad, think of adding a piece of mandrel bent pipe ( like at 45-60 deg.), and you can really make some money selling actual cold air kit, that would place the filter over the compressor. Just a thought.

Brad, not to knock your work, but...

I presume the 'rounded' edge is meant to go towards the MAF(intake)? While it may be smooth, it is an exit or trailing edge in technical terms. The rounded exit actually hinders laminar flow and does not flow as well as a sharp edge exit or a perfect transition to the MAF bore.

What you really want is a perfect joint throughout the bore. Bolt the adaptor up to the MAF without the filter and notice what the inside bore is at the joint. If the bore of the adaptor is smaller than the bore of the MAF, the rounded edge is actually hindering flow(compared to a square corner). Another approach is the protrusion exit, where the tube of the adaptor would extend past the joint into the MAF bore. This is better than either the rounded edge or square edge joint, but most likely it is not practical in this application. Ideally, the bore of the adaptor should perfectly match the bore of the MAF. The most practical way to achieve this would be to use a tube with an ID that matches the bore of the MAF, welding it to the flange such that the bores are in alignment when the two are bolted together.

In actuality, it probably is not significant enough to worry about. I applaud your work and generosity to share it with others.:)

Excelent job Brad. I don't know how anyone can complain about free, I sure can't. Hell, I'd be willing to pay you labor plus shipping for one if I couldn't make one myself.
 
RE: MAF adapter #2

I made it smaller for a reason, Its hard to find a 4in filter unless you order one off line. it throws codes if you dont round it. I made three so far, I learn from past MAFs round for me anyways works better.
