maf / air filter question

[eclipsekid1013]

kind of a dumb questions but since the 1g maf is a big unit that attaches to the can to put an airfilter on i need to upgrade to gm maf or 2nd gen maf corret i just bought a talon with an intake pipe to the can and to rip the can off and run a filter i need to upgrade the maf right thanks guys

What are you trying to do exactly , is the engine a turbo.

You can buy an aftermarket filter for it... K&N has one for around $50. A 2g MAF will give you more breathing room and a GM MAF will give you even more.

you can buy an air filter for the 1g of ebay but would recommend doing the GM MAF. It cleans up the bay quite a bit and you can run what ever filter u desire. or lesser cost do the
2g MAF swap

You do NOT need to change the MAS to change the air filter. Here is the K&N drop in air filter from JNZ for $39.99: K&N Drop In Air Filter-1G DSM : JNZ Tuning

This will work for both turbo and non/turbo 4G63's. Which one do you have?

you don't need a new MAF. you can buy a conical filter and then an adapter that screws on to the stock 1G MAF. if you're really on a budget, you can use a cylindrical K&N air filter, existing lid, and bungee everything down. I ran that on my starion back in the day but I wouldn't recommend it...

in the future, please use correct spelling and grammar is it makes it significantly easier for people to understand what you are asking.

If you want to get rid our your "fart can" (exhaust), why are you asking about a MAS (intake)?

 

[92AWDHX40]

Get a cold air intake done.

(fat can) not (fart can)

Ahhh!

To the OP, you can cut away the can and just leave the lid and filter (with the MAS inside). Here is my old n/t engine with the "fat can" cut away (you can even cut away more then I did if you want).

nice clean engine!

Agreed on the clean bay, n' engine. The radiatator is a lil dull, but add's flavor.

That was my old engine. Here is the new one, with a nice shinny radiator
