I have a 06 ss/sc. We all know the air filter is down in the fender area in front of the tire. Well if the intake piping is shortened up to stop where it makes the final bend down under the body will that mess with the engine and performance to much? Pretty much asking if this is something anybody should NOT do?? thanks

 

It probaly would, why wouldn't you just leave the intake the way it's made?

 

theres absolutely no point to doing that.

 

I was just wondering. cuz if you want to get to the filter u have to take stuff apart to reach it. just quicker access. its no biggie. just curious.

 

yea i understand lol it is a bitch to get to, but i wouldnt cuz it might not fit, it might throw off the MAF and it will be hot air not cold air cuz itll be in the engine bay

 

You'll suck warmer air with it in the engine bay. You'll also have to relocate the MAF sensor. Don't go that route, you'll lose power and it'll be a bitch to set-up.

 

yeah i was just wondering and i def am not doing it. does anybody know where u can get the little sleeves that go over the filters?? Im having a brain fart right now and cant think of the name..lol. thanks if anyone knows what im talking about and where to get them.

 

they are called hydroshields and check ZZP or OTTP or and Injen site

 

I've got one I don't use. PM me if you want it.

 

This.
The engineers who designed the intake calibrated the maf to read air moving a certain volume and velocity. Unless you can compensate you'll lose power and be a very sad panda.
