I got this intake elbow TFS-3150800 from summit. I also have an SLP cold air intake, when I hook up the MAF the elbow is about 2 inches to long to fit onto the throttle body. Why would it not fit...and what can I do?

 

I believe you have to trim it for certain intakes.

 

the elbow has a lip molded on the end, I really hate to cut it off.

 

either trim the elbow or trim your slp intake.

 

Were you already running the CAI with the stock intake elbow, or is the CAI new too? All the Trick Flow elbows are the same dimensions, BUT there are different length intake tubes in CAI's depending on if you got one that was designed for a 93 model that didn't originally come equipped with a MAF. I'd be looking at the CAI as the reason it won't fit.

 

I already had the CAI with the stock eblow.

 

You can't trim the SLP CAI because the pipe rapidly reduces in size after the lip.

Right now I am thinking trimming the MAF housing is the best way.

Also, I tried to see if it would fit without the MAF, and it was then way to short...so I don't think the reason is that the CAI was designed to not have one.

 

Did a search:

You have to trim the elbow.

 

Trim it at the OTHER end.

 

What would trimming it from the filter side acomplish?

 

Never fails: just when you've thought you'd seen it all, somebody always comes along that blows the last one out of the water.

Signing off of this thread before my head explodes...

 

a couple of inches is a couple of inches it doesnt matter what end it comes off of its going to make it shorter.

 

I can't trim it from the MAF side of the CAI because the pipe gets smaller and the MAF won't fit inside, I think trimming the elbow side of the MAF housing might do it. I don't want to trim the elbow.

 

Did you try holding the elbow in place without the rubber couplers? When I installed one, I had to really trim those couplers way back to get it all to line up and fit... I had to trim them back both on the connection to the TB as well as the connection to the MAF...

 

Yes I did, and it was still shifted to the left.

I just read this post from another thread...what do you think?
