If there's ANY chance of my '03 being of any value, I'll be down there tomorrow (or any day for that matter).

Doesnt hurt. Maf is different and position but I would go see if they can do anything.

Is there any reason at all to believe that the intake is any sort of bottleneck at all for power on the 45? Is the MAF tube the exact same diameter as stock? (i.e. - is fueling going to be thrown off??) Is replacing the stock plastic piece with metal (which will take on a lot more heat) really going to result in a cooler charge?

I'm new to these cars, but consider me real skeptical on this. Looks like a shiny noise-maker to me but I'm in for real-world results.

Maf tube same diameter.
Yes aluminum will heat soak more than the plastic.
Cooler than jwt yes cooler than oem no. Oem is enclosed and heat shielded.
You're getting into the cai debate, in the end yes I do believe it improves gas mileage, horsepower, torque, by helping the car breathe.

Stock has a lot of dead air space to help reduce noise so on low rpm it builds up air. When it is full it becomes straight through per say and higher rpm no real benefit only low end by going straight through pipe.

My mod % per month is sucking wind, looking for some low hanging fruit. Compared to the Ed FX amazing car of the month club I am REALLY sucking wind (unlike a quality CAI =)).
 
Awesome! Thanks Jeff, going to go compare right now, forgot that you had what we needed =).

Just went out and measured it all out, Ed was correct, it should fit. The first bend off the intake port goes back a bit further toward the firewall on the M45 but the curve after that is a bit broader and should provide better access to the dipstick, win/win there. Think I may give it a shot!

Funny, I disconnect my laptop and head for the garage and I hear one of the contract workers ask "where I am going" and one of my designers says "car", that's the end of the conversation.......
 
Don't mean to Tread Jack but I saw my name in here. Going to share in about a week or two, I'm soooooo.....close I can taste it. When I have the provisional patent in hand I will make it public. IS is getting the first look. My machine shop is finishing up the new style MAF housings as I'm writing this now. The 03-05s are done already. A Limited quantity will be available for each style, if there is enough demand I'll put together some more kits. Logan you got mail...
