So going by that I'm going to get a lean condition .... well once the couplers arrive I'm putting it on for testing . I have the tubes already. If I have to, I will keep the accordion piece and just put the cf tube on the front portion of the Maf.
And 9k that is where I got mine.

That's fine, but the purpose of the DIY forum is to post a DIY thread
Next time please do all of your work first and then post a proper DIY thread after you have all of the results and information. Personal playground threads will need to posted elsewhere in the future. Since I already made the mistake of letting it go this far we will ride it out, but in the future if the first post is not a proper DIY then it gets the boot.
