That may be true, but obviously something's wrong. It shouldn't be running that hot. For me, even on days in the low to mid 80's, I'll rarely get over 205 degrees under normal driving. Did you remove the tube or replace it? What happened?

Recently changed to silicone MAF tubes and added a Z-speed undershield. It has new penn 5W30 platinum oil in the motor. I think I am going to change some of the other fluids manual and diff since it has been 58k miles. does running the air make a difference?

I am also curious, I changed out my stock intake tubes with the MAF one. Both had some extra stuff attached to it. Just curious what purpose those served?

They are resonators... helps quiet the intake and give a custom sound.

Are you talking about the baffles attached by a small hose to the intake and valve cover? That's part of the PCV system.

Yes I was. When I ordered my MAF's I also ordered the PCV hoses, I just ran the PCV hose to the MAF. I did not put the baffles on, should I have?
