Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Advice new style Stillen S.C. Intercooler pipe (MAFs at TB)

NissanTracker · 04-28-2018, 09:35 PM

Hi Forum,

Got annoyed with Stillen's setup with the MAFs behind the front bumper. Each time the fans turn on, despite making shields, idle always changes. I know TopGunz has a cool A-A setup, but I already upgraded my A-W cooler and water pump, so wanted to cut some pipes this weekend :-)

Question, from the photos given, should I be OK for mounting MAF flanges before the TB's? This setup is on an 07 350z nismo. Much appreciated!

**EDIT***
It's only for myself, no intentions of making these for others. If I had the dough, I would rather go with TopGunz sexy setup. Also, no plans for more boost. Next year I'm going with the 370z Nismo and leaving it untouched while keeping my 350z for HSDE's

Coupler is just there to hold it for the photo, will be welded

I believe I will keep the 45 degree coupler there. One thing I didn't like about the Stillen OE pipe is there was no movement. It was not 100 percent lined up on mine.
