This has me worried (installing a 35R on a stock MAS right now)

I think this is the 2nd or 3rd time I've heard about this happening and each time it was a 35R

 

35R....AKA Hoover!

 

hmmmm 35R i might have a problem then cause i only got a 57 trim

 

This really SUCKS!!!

 

My Stealth's MAF has that divider between the honeycomb pieces to help keep it from being inhaled.

well...it did until I gutted all of it out

 

how did it get so crushed? i could see it coming loose and stoping on the sensor but it looks like a wrinkledup piece of paper

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Idk I didnt drive it around as soon as my car started running super rich. when i popped the air filter off it was just crushed


anybody got ideas how to prevent this?

I only found relocating the port where the bov blows back in to a further location
and
empoxy the sides.

Well if this happens again im going aem

 

it's not very strong at all, it's like aluminum foil

 

People have been using glue to hold them in place. Most big timers go with an air density solution.
