It's best to have a few inches of straight pipe before and after the MAF to ensure laminar flow across them. I hope it works out for you, but if you run into issues with the tunability of this setup, I would recommend finding a way to straighten those MAF tubes. ECU/MAF can be picky sometimes.

Aside from that the construction looks top notch.

Dam! That's a huge intake piping. About the same size as my tractor lol

Again, incredible fab/welding skills! In terms of MAF placement, is the goal to get them both equally distanced from the throttle bodies?

Might have to take a trip to Central Florida!

yeah thats some amazing stuff, I know who to call if I'm looking for a custom build on any future car now

Everything looks great! I sent you a PM A4RingedONE8T.

I can't stop looking at this thread for some reason?

I thought all of the boosted setups were blowthru...........

I wanna know how its going to sound with the headers that different in lenghts from one another.......if you dont know that mostly has to do with the sound of the subbys..........interested in the exhaust note!!!!!!!!!!! VIDEOOOSSS!!!

PS: i know ppl are going to say oh no ithe subarus sound like that because its a horizontally opposed engine......and no....it doesnt.......you can put equal lenth headers on a STI and it will sound pretty damn close to a CIVIC

Unaware, interested how the ECU interprits MAF V with this setup.

Plus one rep for a great build

Red__Zed · 05-07-2011, 02:43 PM

Wow, that's quite a tight fit. I think it would be extremely difficult to mass-produce a setup like this, simply due to the clearances.

Interesting piping to the intakes though.

I would assume so, but thats a question for the tuners...

Very tight fit! Other than the fact that Shawn prides himself in custom one-off builds, I believe another culprit to not mass producing anything is due to fitment issues.

And for the intake piping, it looks beautiful in person. Ideally, you'd want equal sized piping in equal lengths to come into a y-pipe and one pipe go into the intercooler, but Shawn had to work his magic with the little room in our engine bays. Based on his logic, with the different sized piping and different paths, it seems like it should be pretty even.
