i'll get it out tomorrow at lunch time and send you the tracking info right after ;-)

 

Recieved my Maf Pipe, arrived well packaged, and looked amazing, sadly it is really shiny compared to my Ic Piping that is just Raw and not polished, but it looks great, Welds are fantastics, maf fit perfectly. Then the instal was a breeze.

 

Glad you're happy

if you prefer the brushed look rub the maf housing with a white stochbrite pad

should turn out similar to your actual piping (if you want a duller/bit rougher finish use the red pads)

 

Denis, how'd you get it so shiny! Guessing expensive buffer and time?



All my other piping is black ceramic paint but the shiny maf looks nice.



edit: also what do you use to roll beads? I really really really need to get the rest of my piping rolled, it's really the only thing that makes it not too reliable right now. After about 100 miles I always pop a coupler off somewhere.

 

the piece i recived was Beaded very nicley and so far hasnt come off to 17psi... so i think were going to be fine. I will also do your rubbing trick, alothough im not to worried about the shine.

 

for the shine, electric bench buffer and buffing coumpound

for the beads a bead roller,if you find an old body shop they might have one or a fab shop



to help with popping coupling clean the pipe and the coupling itself to remove any oil spray some hair spray slip the coupling and tighten the hose clamp

 

Yea ^^^ I always brake clean my Ic Pipe Couplings and Couplers then put them together, never ran into a issue, or had to use hair spray, but that is a great idea. I find that just the clean surface, and a little easy driving, usually lets the couplers kinda bond to the Ic Piping.

 

^^^lol, that might be my issue. I slap everything back together and then go run an autocross the next day.... :biggrin:

 

Denisst when you was using 3" how mush correction was it needed with the piggy bank?

 

i wasn't that major of a change

i'll try to dig up my old smt-6 map

i played mainly with the global adjustement and made soem fine tune on the fuel map

basicly play with the global adjustement until it idle fine then do some road testing watching fuel trimsunder regular driving and AFR at WOT
