Has anybody taken out the black pipe coming from the filter box, that leads to the driver side headlight. If so, did you notice higher revs?

 

C-A-I

 

i did that just before i made my pop charger. . . didn't really seem to make a difference except for sound.

 

Did it sound better or worse? How do you make a custom pop charger?

 

goto a local shop and ask for a "mass air sensor adapter" for your max (i believe theyre all the same). next, pick up a cone filter and hose clamp.
remove everything from the MAFS *foreward* (as in away from the engine).
bolt up the adapter to the sensor, get some tubing if you'd like to route the filter inside the fender (like me)..
otherwise, pop on the filter, tighten the hose clamp and go for a ride.
for further excitement, remove the black hose/pipe between MAFS and TB, remove the big plastic thing that goes nowhere (intake resonator), find something to plug that hole...lots more bad@$$ noise.

 

I kinda get where you're goin. Are there pics of how to do this? A little extra noise can't hurt.

 

i've posted pics before. try searching. what you do is remove the clam and the intake muffler. a jar lid actually fit perfectly in there!!! sounds crazy, but it works really well. if you want to make a pop charger, just drill out the 2 rivits in the stock air box, and remove the brass ring. bend that a little and you can just clamp the cone onto there. . . . . it works really well.

 

i dont have any pics...
as far as the noise goes, if you just make a pop and leave it at that, its alot louder. intake noise is much better than exhaust. i was very disappointed that when i added the CAI-ness to my intake, it got alot quieter, but i guess the power increase is worth it.

 

my exhaust will defenitely be louder than intake hehehehe i did a pcv breather while i was at it too. . .

 

what does that do anyway?
hey, IM me, i'd like to know more about your exhaust..

found it. No pics. And no link (sais there's supposed to be one, though).

 

thanks for the correction. I've notice a little more pick up, took off the overdrive, and kept up with a L Dog up to third gear, after that he spit me out

 

Try changing fuel filter and cleaning throttle body. That can help you up top some.
