intake install question

read some threads but still have a question. Is there any gasket between the Stock MAF piping and a MAF adapter when installing an intake? or just bolt it on?

probably should have one there to prevent unfiltered air getting in and fouling your maf... although, not as big of a deal as a leak after the maf.

A gasket it is like a dollar at any parts store

there is a paper gasket on the intake end of the MAF tube and a rubber O-ring on the midpipe end
