Could you just cut the flange off of the cai pipe and get silicone hose adapters (transition)?

Maybe it'll save some cash..

I thought these guys took over Pro-Flow...
PMAS

They want 250 clams for a plastic bodied Bullet.

What are the two O.D. sizes on your CAI and the bullet meter?

- Jeff

Edit: I forgot -- I agree that C&L meters are good but I don't know if I'd recommend them if you have a blower. Some people have had idle issues that they can remedy by clocking the meter. Turbulance caused by bends in the intake tubing can mess up the meter's readings. It's solved by simple rotating the meter.

If you want to, measure the cold air pipe diameter (in inches), I think I have a Pro-M Bullet 75 here on the shelf. I'll measure that diameter and see if there's a transition that could work. Just to give you some options.

The one I have on the shelf is a plastic bodied 75mm and it measures 3.5" in diameter. You may want to measure yours just because it's metal. I can't see it being different but it may be just a little.

dude... just cut the flange off the lower half of the CAI tube and get a silicone coupler.... its no that big of a deal

the reason why the aftermarket MAF's are shaped like that with no flange is because they are ment to have a filter attached to the end... not the airbox.. like the stocker


just cut the pipe
