3" Air Filter Intake Option OEM LOOKALIKE (aka CA street legal air intake)
So here's the goal: I'm swapping over to the 3" GM MAF with translator, with 3" piping all the way to the reducer coupler at the throttle body. The idea is to replicate an OEM look so if I ever get visually inspected, it looks legit.
Well, all of this is very easy except for the air filter part. Can't exactly get a 3" cone filter and slap it on and call it a day. Maybe if they made them in black, but eGay is ricefest 2011 with cone air filters.
I've been looking at getting OEM airboxes from GM MAF equipped cars and running a regular style filter, but the whole point of going with the GM MAF was to improve airflow significantly; getting ANY airbox would null and void that.
Ideally, I wish I could slap on a cone filter and fab up some kinda box around it, just 4 sides or so, so from up top it looks legit, but underneath it's all open. That's probably what will wind up happening unless you guys can throw out some creative ideas...
