    Hi,
    Well though this shoudns like a silly question i do have a problem with it.

    When i bought the SS kit from cartech i also orderd a Pro-M drawthrough MAF since i was switching to larger injectors, it turns out the pro-m MAF is bigger than the stock one, and if i put it all together the air filter will never clear the front bumper (missing more than 2")

    i dont know how to move it since it will affect airflow to the MAF.

    Any ideas?

    It should go down in the fenderwell. It requires a shorter K&N filter. I will measure my filter today or possible pull a part number and get a picture.

    Thanks Catfish,
    The kit came with a huge K&N filter that just will not fit inside the fender if it's attached to the new MAF.

    I though about putting in another filter, but i am not sure what it will do to the engines "breathing" ability and i am not sure if it will also clear the fender.

    Are you also using an aftermarket Pro-M MAF with the kit?

    Yeah, an 80 mm Pro M. I have a cone style filter, 8" long. It just fits. Sorry, no picture.
