Same here, Mine is just like that. The Wire needs to be about 2 inches Longer for the "Best" position. But it works and causes no problems.

The MAF sensor line is tight. Remove the plastic engine cover. Is there a clip holding the line to the engine? Cut the clip.

Mickey, do you have some shots from you whole engine bay? So I can get an overall look with the typhoon installed.

tnx

sq40,

Looks good. What is your read on performance?

We removed the engine cover and then pulled the plastic clips, which hold the wire loom, from their mounts to get a little extra slack in the MAF Sensor wires. It took some persuading but we got enough slack to route the wires under the intake tube to give a cleaner look. Been running it like this for months with no issues and some of these days it was 100+ degrees out.

Here's a link to our website with some pics of the set-up:

Performance is about on par with other Intakes, it is really noticable over 4K RPM. The Sound thouhg.. The Sound is incredible. No other intake gives you a Formula 1 esqe sound like the Typhoon.. None.

Can you use stock Z tube with the typhoon?

Maybe but what would be the point. The Typhoon includes all necessary hardware.
