Intake questions
I am making an intake for my supercharged car and was wondering about this....
on the filter side of the MAF I was thinking about putting a y pipe and then 2 cone filters. Anybody think this is a good idea? Worth the money ( It would add about $80 to the project)?

Re: Intake questions
I would just use a 90 degree bend pipe with a good sized cylinder style filter.

Re: Intake questions
What would be the immediate benefits of that?
I would think that having two filters relatively close to each other would create 'turbulent' air streams in the immediate vicinity (on the outside) and on the inside of the Y where the two streams meet. Which could possibly result in improper reading on the MAF? Just my .02, -Sov

Re: Intake questions
I was hoping it would maybe result in a more open intake, but the more I think about it... Even with two cone filters the MAF would still be the bottleneck. So, I guess it would be a waste of money to do this...

Re: Intake questions
Dont know what the benefits are, but I do know that the Corvettes use a dual filter on a Y-type intake.
