Normally the intake systems are offered with either Airaid premium air filter. The Synthaflow is the oiled where as the Synthamax is Airaids amazing dry synthetic filter. I personally like the Synthamax as it is very easy to clean but some swear by the Synthaflow.

This should help those who dont know which route to go.

PHOTO LEAK ALERT. We have some renderings of what the final system may look like.

That looks really nice

are you still going to offer a polished version as well?

Looks good, but where is the MAF sensor going to hook up?

I was wondering the exact same thing.

It'll have to be right where the logo is.

It's inside the box. Look at page 2.

Hello xclusive_brett,

We will not be offering a polished version.

Hello Calidrifter,

The MAF sensor will be located inside the airbox. It's a very unique design.

Thanks,
David

Saw that, I'm very interested in seeing how we get the MAF sensor in there.

You just use a wireless MAF.








































Okay not really.

Anyways, you route the factory MAF harness through a hole in the Cold Air Box and use a grommet to seal/secure it where it passes through.

I'm sure you guys have never seen a MAF hidden inside an airbox but our flowbench testing showed it to be the optimal location with the way we design our kits. Some guys like to try the MAF in different locations until they find a place where it is happy. Since we start from scratch and can design anything we want we are able to dictate the location and also accommodate things like packaging restraints of the engine bay, filter size, MAF harness length etc. The MAF location allows a very laminar airflow over the sensor (read predictable and stable) because it comes in through a round filter, then straight into a velocity stack where the sensor resides.
