Alright, that sounds like a plan. I'll report back when done.

Thanks a bunch.

Anyone else need to trim that hose?

The plastic diverter that is used with the stock tubes can't be used, so the hose has to go straight into the maf tube, however since it gets cramped, there's no point putting it on. I can get a different hose or trim this one. Let me know please.

I can post pics if needed.

Thanks guys. (Maybe it's the 2012 Z ... dunno)

You should be able to remove the metal nipple and run the factory baffle into the post maf hose, the metal nipples are there as a provision for our aftermarket silicone pcv hoses.

Thank you very much for the info, I will def try to fit the factory baffle into it tonight. I think you guys should give an option on your webpage for adding hoses, like you do with K&N drop-ins. I would have bought em.

damn, I wish I hadn't thrown away those little metal things. Wouldn't mind adding those hoses to my z1 maf setup.

You talking about the clamps? I think you can find those in a hardware store (they'll prolly look a little diff but would work the same).

nah, the metal inserts that come with the z1 maf tubes.

binary0x01 · 07-18-2012, 12:54 AM

oh ye i see, they do look cool.

Installed

Car feels great, butt dyno is satisfied.

To install we've removed the metal nipple as spencer@z1 suggested and everything fell into place from there.

Also silicone lube helped a lot

Thanks to everyone for the hints.
