PPI's new MAF pipe and air filter options, Evo 8/9!

I have been working on this for a while and its finally finished! I really wanted to build a intake pipe that has features not seen in many others with excellant quality!

Here are some features
-Will fit stock airbox OR can be used with a cone filter
-Will NOT disrupt the MAF signal
-The pipe is 100% 6061 aluminum all mandrel bends
-This is a complete welded assembly, there are no threaded fittings to cause leaks.
-PPI made there own aluminum vacuum fittings and welded them to the pipe!
-Weighs less than a pound
-Fully polished

Our full kit includes for $239 includes:
-MAF pipe
-All 4 ply silicone couplers and clamps
-Air filter
-MAF adapter

You can see more pictures and read more about it here as well as the pricing.

Here are some pictures
enjoy!







I left the lid off the airbox to clearly show more of the pipe with the stock airbox








Here is our filter and MAF adapter for only $69 http://www.paradigmperformance.net/p...vo/filter.html

Kit looks awesome. Would you be willing to sell just the intake piping? Ive got an aftermarket turbo with a 4in inlet, yet, im still using the stock bov location, and MAF. PM me with a price if you are. Thanks in advance.

What kind of gains will I see with the MAF kit untuned?

I'm currently running stock turbo with just a drop-in so I'm wondering the kind of benefits I'll see from going to your MAF kit. I'm still on the edge with going to a new intake and/or MAF kit...thanks!

I wouldn't try to guess what you would gain on an untuned vehicle. But you can put this pipe on and get tuned for the least amount of restriction for your turbo!

Thanks I just wanted to see the value I'd get for my purchase.

I don't plan to. It could be easily annodized for a durable finish. Currently I don't have any products that are anodized though.

I just installed one of these intakes for a customer and I must say it fits like a glove. You will not be disappointed!

Why do you advertise no MAF distortion? Every intake on the market, even a basic cone filter with the stock MAF rubber pipe requires tuning to run properly. Also other tuners have found that a single bend MAF pipe causes less MAF distortion compared to the OEM style 2 bend pipe. Any thoughts on this in your testing?

We have installed this on more than a few cars and they did not require any additional tuning. I always recommend custom tuning to anyone after any part is installed. I have put some intakes (brand x) on customers cars that made them run flat out horrible and REQUIRED tuning to just run. Ours is "S" shaped so it will fit with the stock airbox if desired. There is no way you can get to the stock airbox with 1 bend. I trust that answers your question
