Sawing off the end of an intake and attatching a filter, to me, seems risky considering the jarring effects of offroading. It's plastic afterall. Why not spend the little bit of $$ and get an (aluminium) pop charger? Seems more stable to me. If he wants to do it, by all means go for it, it's not my engine afterall. In addition, I tend to stay away from intakes due to the bad luck I always seemed to have with them. I've had three intakes on two different cars and twice rattled a MAF to death.

Unfortunately, it doesn't just "burn up". It becomes the gunk you'll find all over the IM/TB when your throttle starts to stick.

That too. After re-oiling, they MUST be set out to dry in the sun before re-installing. I found this out the hard way a few times on me old SE-R, so the K&N I have in the Pathy now is cleaned and re-oiled properly and per the instructions.

To which dipsh!t are you referring? ^^Agreed with all that's said above about 5spd. vs. autos.

Free? How'd you pull that off? :confused:

My friend you drive a Pathy, no comparison to a Ram w/ an intake and an exhaust! :confused:

Because it doesn't take water to kill a MAF. Vibrations alone can sever the filament inside it. But anyways, sounds like you have your bases covered already and seeing as you don't off road, you needn't worry about vibrations. And nissandoms I didn't say "cruddily", I said "crudely". There's a difference b/w the two. When you take shortcuts like this you run that risk. Like I said, it's just my .02. Increased Airflow alone will not kill it. It's the type of air that makes the difference. Hell, you can drive with no filter alone and it would be fine, until the dirt and grime/dust coated the sensor and it stalled out on you. An open filter like that, even in dusty conditions runs that risk as well.

If you're willing to accept the fact that you may end up replacing a fried MAF, then by all means. I dunno, if I ever had anything like that crudely built in my truck it would have shaken off and been dropped and smashed back on a trail miles and miles ago. I'd leave it tight and sealed like it is (if you do any sort of wheeling at least) just my .02

try the infrared lens next time

yeah, he could at least give you an estimate. My brother in law just had to do this on his Mustang.

Not unless you value ABS. The brakes should still work fine regardless. R50's have a tendency to want to lock up the front's pretty easily though, might want to consider replacing it. Contact Ryan?

Hey what did the tranny fluid end up looking like? Did you notice any water? Yeah, he did sink his rig This was post recovery and the door was opened, I was too late getting one when the water came pouring out.

Maybe slow down a little?

Yeah, that engine is heavily sought after However, the IRS isn't. Good read

I tend to agree with you on this. I think it's a great idea. For example, Kenny is providing this forum with a great service and putting his name, along with a rating in a specific section will make people a lot more apt to check there before they click on the Services section, or search for that matter. I think the recent actions of our friend from the Pac.NW made it even more imperative we have something like this. On the other hand, one could argue that if you're too lazy to search this board for that seller and do a little research, you pretty much deserve to get screwed to begin with. Not saying I condone that, because I never want to see any fellow owner get f****d over, but you always have to be careful these days...there's a lot of corrupt sellers in this world unfortunately. Just my .02

That's the spirit!!

What, Red...no leaf in it? I like it!

Good to hear, starting issues are such an annoyance!

Those T's look much better...

Now THAT'S nice

There was an ounce of sarcasm in my reply, D.J.

Bravo, bravo...

And a beautiful leaf it is!
