No spacer.

I never tried mine without it. But she idles like a champ. And mines installed right before the y. My thought was it does help to even airflow between sides.

We are going to try that and see if it helps.

Top, sometime this weekend would you mind taking me taking a few more pics of how your piping is on the cold side?

My front clip is on now and I'm kind of displaced. I have 4 cars at my parent's place.

Okay, no problem. When the pipe goes into the engine bay does it turn up then back at the TBs?

This it's what it looks like. Its a 45 degree coupler coming into the y.

If you want, I'll send you the pipe sasha made. Evo says his is idling fine but it will max mafs out at 5K due to design.

At least that way you can see if yours is a bad design or not.

Can't you just shut off the MAF Voltage error code in the software so the software doesn't look for it? I just have the standard Stillen setup, but I've had to shut off a bunch of intake-related codes to get it to run without going into limp mode.

JWillis72 · 11-22-2015, 04:59 PM

I don't think you can turn off the MAFs because you still need them for AITs.

Not true - I have a bunch of codes turned off and still read IAT off my MAF.

I'm away for the holidays, but when I get back I'll PM you a list of codes I shut off to get my car to run smoothly.

The shop is taking the y pipe off tomorrow morning so we can get a better look at how well the intake to the y looks. If it is hitting the y straight we are going to try mounting the air straightener but if it's not hitting y straight we are going to fix the y pipe before we move on.

well the shop that did mu pipes blew it on the y pipe. The intake to it is in at an angle so its clearly not splitting evenly. Thinking about it now I think it's doing what it was when the kits was first installed. The shop that installed it left off the part that blocks the lower filter so when I would coast at 3-40mph one MAF was getting more air that the other and the car would go into some protective mode and go pig rich. Our thought right now is that while we are not trying to tune it with the MAFs the car is still going into that mode because of what it's seeing from the MAFs. First we are going to try to trick the car, we are going to attach both MAF signal wires to one MAF so they get the same reading and then see if we can get anything to change SD tuning it. If that doesn't work we will have to have a new y pipe made.

If you end up on the 'rebuild' path I would give them direction to have at least a small straight portion before the 'y'. It will also help to have that flow conditioner inserted too.
