I have a '99 Trans Am. I installed a K&N Cold Air Intake. Now I want to install a new 85mm SLP MAF Sensor to replace the stock 75mm MAF Sensor. I was told by K&N that the tube connecting the air filter to the MAF Sensor will not fit over an 85mm MAF. Does anyone know what I can do to install this?

Do you mean you bought a KnN Filter or did you buy the whole KnN Air Intake Kit? If its just the filter i think any aftermarket lid will work. i have a SLP Lid on mine.

with a smooth bellow intake you should be able to fit it, stock probably will not stretch enough. Keep in mind that you must get a custom tune when you install the new MAF.

why are you installing a new maf? your stock one can handle over 450 hp

I have some $$$ to put into the car and just thinking further ahead. I'm working with a guy here in Houston and when said and done, will be 500+hp.

well at that level, dont use a SLP MAF go SD or get a TSP 100mm MAF

i'm running a K&N kit with an 85mm MAF sensor. it's a tight fit but it'll work. put the 2 pieces in the oven for a little while and they'll fit much more easily.

IF he's running the SLP MAF, and specifically the SLP, it has the resistor in place for his stock tune. He will not have to retune for it.

I'm with the rest of the guys though. No use in getting it. I'd spend the money elsewhere, like exhaust or a mail order Frost tune. You'd be surprised how it peps up even a stock car.

Awesome. Thanks for the help guys.
