Ok so I am looking to get a little better air induction going without dropping a lot of cash. I was sitting on the work bench in my garage looking at my engine bay trying to think of a creative way to use that hood scoop with my intake when a question poped in my head. ok, so what if I attached the MAF right on to the intake mani and slapped a filter on it? Now if my memory serves me correct, which it seldom does but I think I might have it right, the MAF does not just messure the air, but also temps right? so then I thought wow the mani probably gets pretty hot. So to avoid this problem i could wrap the MAF tubing in thermal tape and make a heat shield for the filter and paint the mani with thermal paint. Wow this is starting to sound expensive, but now that I have started I can't stop! I think it would look way too cool. anywho, I am sure I am not the first person to think of this, but I would like to know if anyone has done it, how they did it, does it work out with the MAF,or any tid bits of advice.
Thanx again

I had the same thought when I first got my '98 GT. I never got around to trying it though. I did replace the large air plenum thing with the intake pipe from an earlier model Legacy (Sorry, I don't remember body designations as well as the rest of you) and installed a K&N cone filter. Nice intake "honk" and the "butt dyno" seemed to notice a power increase.
Now, I seem to remember there being some controversy over the MAF sensors going bad if the intake is modified. Seems like that was the reason no one offered a cold air system for so long. I've never had a problem, so am I lucky or was it a myth?
