[Shotimes] 77mm Pro-M MAF quality

[Carl Prochilo]

I assume you are talking about this website
http://performancepartsmall.com/detail.asp?id=394 .
The pictures aren't that good, but it does look like the MAF I bought years
ago.  I also have an 80mm Ford MAF (I still need to find a home for this)
sitting in the garage and this part has the sampling tube inline with the
main airflow instead of the way Pro-M did it.  As a result, the Pro-M unitl
is much larger and won't mate up with with the factory airbox.  So you will
need to find a solution to vent air from the fenderwell to the airclean/MAF
assembly.  The only solution I'm aware for this is Vadim's SHOShop CAN.

I've heard a lot of good things about the 75mm bullet design that does mate
up to the airbox if you're thinking of changing it.

Neither of these units require a chip which is a bonus.

Personally I don't see any quality issues with my unit.

I'm quite disappointed wrt to assembly quality and the appearance of the

lucky me. Pro-M must have l

That is a possibility. But then

well, return it.", they told me.  So I have not done that yet.  In the mean
time I'm just curious what o
