What are all of your opinions on the C&L mass air meters?? I have an 80mm maf but before I put it on with the trueflow pipe, I wanted to know what everyone has noticed as far as hp gain and performance. Worth it>? Also I hear that it messes up your car's computer...is that true? Is it hard to install?
Please all feedback and opinions are appreciated. Thanks in advance

ive heared people go both ways with the c&l but you should see a little hp increase and it is definatly easy to install!

c&l is a good product did u buy the one for a cobra or a gt? and if u disconect the battery install it,then connect the battery u shouldnt have a problem provided its correct for ur application and do not drop it! the whole install should only take about a 1/2 hour max!

by the way since u have a dohc 4.6 to see/feel gain with those two items u really need to add a throttle body to that combo!http://www.bbkperformance.com/products/throttle-bodies.shtml

I bought the one for a cobra but i heard that the sensor messes up the computer inside the car. Thats why im asking these questions because if that is true then i will just not put the maf on....thank you to those who have replied

you'll have to try it, they seem to be hit or miss depending on your car

Pretty much, there are posts I've read where it works great & some people get high/low idle.

Only one way to find out. Install it and post up.
