Custom MAC CAI Problem

dalton13 · 04-05-2004, 11:55 AM

I am having an ongoing issue with my CAI. As a Saleen, the Roots style blower pushes the throttle body out at an angle. After purchase of a GT MAC CAI, I had to cut the hell out of the pipe as seen in the picture.

At the top, I have a lot of slippage, and from time to time the engine will have a vacuum leak due to the connection being less than the angle necessary to correctly attach to the Throttle Body.

Does anyone have any suggestions on the replacement of this pipe? I have heard that a new Pro M MAM would replace this part, and be a nice upgrade, but hoping for some cheaper, quicker alternatives.

TIA

I would be severly tempted to pony up the cash and use the stock induction pipe with a Pro-M...

You might be able to cut the stock tubing to fit your MAC setup also.

After taking a look at the pic, I think I would have stayed with the stock tubing and went with a drop-in K&N...
