Gentlemen,
Im sure im not the 1st person to think about this, but i was tossing the idea around in my head, and wanted to read what other people think, and if it is possible.
i was thinking, how does KKM produce there " intake " ??? are they using an 03' MAF that can be unbolted from the factory 03' airbox and attached to a cone filter. Can an 03' MAF even be used in an application like this ???????? by going to a junkyard and a autozone, and producing the same thing as the KKM product ?
could the 03 MAF work in place of the MAF from an 04-05 by using the same electrical connection ?????
if so, i looked at the factory 05 Intake, compared to my 03 K&N intake... the only main differences i see is, on the right side of the tubing of the 03 intake... theres a vaccum line that runs on the right side of the tube. on an 05 the same vaccum line connects on the top of the tube... is there any other lines attached to the intake that i just dont see from pictures ????
i think that this could be done with a little bit of creativity, by just either moving the vaccum line a little, or by taking some rubber hose and simply extend the line ? now i if created a longer line, would that affect the vaccum itself ?
tommorrow im going to call my body shop to see what junk yard my explorer was taken to, and see if i can take out the intake, and maybe cutoff the exhaust piping...
any thoughts ?? just wanted to throw this out there...
