Default Driving without MAF is bad ummm k

Went over a bump, and must have knocked off the clamp.

Talk about running like crap!

I think its time to find a cheap alternative hose piece.... 70 bucks for a piece of rubber ain't happening.

If you're referring to the coupler that goes from the intake to the MAF, somebody actually found a hose/coupler at Home Depot that fit between his Blackwing and MAF. It was really cheap. :cheers:

Yep thats what I'm talking about. I found a rubber piece myself, but its just a tad too small, so I can't decide to take some chunks out, or look for a larger diameter hose.

Thanks for the excellent information concerning buying something that will help me get rid of that accordion looking coupler. I was actually wondering if PVC would work.
