Default Convert SciVision MAF to non-airbox style setup?

Courtesy of the PO, I have a SciVision MAF. I'm thinking with the general engine mods (15psi, MBC, 3" SFR exhaust, cat delete) that the factory airbox is likely a constraint at this time. Factory K26/6 turbo still on the car.

Anyone converted the SciVision to work with a cone type filter? What did you use to convert the J boot and what filter did you end up using? I'd like to do the "thru the fender setup" if I can to help manage intake temps.

Cheers!

Jeff

Like this?

You will need K&N model ru-5111 and a Metal j-pipe from lindsey, speed force, or vitesse. Its a very tight fit but I'm sure you can be more careful with your new filter than I was.

Oh yeah, a can of engine degreaser.
I also had to grind the annoying piece on the alternator cooling shroud.
Also, expect to hear lots of spool and diverter valve noise.

That is snug. After installed, did it change anything?

Also, what's a J-pipe sell for (just an approximation is cool)?

I bought mine as a kit but I believe <$300 however I did not have a maf before therefor I couldn't give you a good comparison for your situation performance wise.

I think there is a j-pipe for sale in this thread
