Need a favor from a mac intake owner

[Brian_B]

Hi,

I am posting in the modified area again. The mac intake is not stock.

I need for someone who had a mac intake and a digi cam to do me a favor. Would you remove your air filter and take a picture of whatever it clamps to?

I assmue its some sort of adapter (tube+plate), but I cannot find a pic online anywhere.

Also, while it is off, would you measure either the I.D. of the filter or the O.D. of the part it clamps to?

Thank you very much in advance,
Brian_B

The air filter mounts to a flange on the chrome attaching bracket. The flange is "up" in the picture.

I will try to remove it and make another photo and measure later today.

As in Dive's picture on the right (what looks like the stock MAF), that's pretty much it. The black pins at the "bottom" (far right in photo) mount in the holes left over by the stock airbox. Filter attaches at the "top" in the photo.

EDIT: Meant "right", not left. One on the left is definitely one of those overpriced aftermarket MAFs.

Thats great guys. I appreciate it. I could see the bracket and the mounts fairly well online, but had no real idea how the filter mounted. It looks like a tube welded to the bracket itself. That would not be hard to do.

I do not know who "Dive" is, and the picture on the left is the Pro-M MAF not the stock MAF which is pictured on the right.

Now to answer the original question, the diameter is 3.5 inchs.

Also, here are some better pictures of the mounting flang.

I meant "right". I even edited the original post, just for you. Btw, what's a "MAG"?

Mistakes happen, right?

A typo ( I am from Georgia, therefore illerate in typen ), yes, not an obvious incorrect part identification.

Thanks for pointing out the type; it is now korrected.

The mount is very simple, the filter just slides over the flange and is held in place with a hose clamp.

I am glad you guys are friends. At least I hope you are just picking on each other.

I really appreciate the information. Thanks

Umm....ooook. (puzzled smilie) I just saved those pics "aldive" posted. However, I cannot open them again. Anyone know what kind of file this is?

It has a php in it. Photoshop maybe? Hmm......

Hard to be "friends" with someone you've never met, and had no interaction with outside of a few posts on a messageboard. Not to say it doesn't happen (I met my wife via a mountainbiking messageboard), Plenty of people hook up on this site all the time.

We're just picking on each other.

Brian, his photos are definitely jpgs. Not sure what you did.

 

[jwrezz]

You saved the link location, it says ".php". You didn't save the pic itself.

 

[Brian_B]

Hmm...now it works. I right clicked them and hit save. Just like always. Weird. At least I hve them now as jpgs. Thanks again. (feels dumb now).

i wish mine was able to be mounted like that! guess the pre 97's are still partial 96's, my heat shield was to long and if i mounted it like that (currently sitting on top of some relays or a black box of some sort) my filter would rip or my hood wouldnt close because it would sit too high. some retard at the stereo shop mounted the alarm siren under the filter and just closed the hood without positioning it the way i had it, so the filter ripped, all i got was $40 credit and never used it.
