MAF generally gives the biggest bang for the buck

Default and I don't know which manufacturers use integrated VS's as they are all more interested...

in "cost of goods" and profit than the best product. And filters with integrated VS's are DEFINATELY more expensive than flat-bottomed ones.

Default do these cai kits with a "built in" velocity stack make a difference

when you already have the screen in? Or do they put it in there so you CAN remove the screen.

Default If I were looking for a cone setup today there's no other I would consider...

I've seen it a SEMA last year and it killed everything it was tested against on the flowbench they had set up there. They even invited visitors and other exhibitors to bring their filters and allowed them to run the flow bench and make the swaps so people were convinced there was no 'trickery' involved. I saw a couple visitors take them up on the offer. Not one exhibitor accepted the offer while I was there.


Quick Reply: should i get the MAF or XTB first??
