Default Help finding a part.

I am in the process of making a custom intake for my GS400. I have all the pipes but I am having no luck finding a pipe with the MAF housing on it. Thats all I'm missing. I have thought of buying a GS300 intake and cutting off the MAF housing but I need a cheaper alternative. Anyone know where I can get one? Thanks in advance.

Here is the piece I'm looking for:

buy an intake made for the 400 and add additional pipes to extend it into the bumper?? I've been thinking if this is a good idea myself, since with the typical short rams for sale they seem to lose a bit in the low end ie. under 4k rpm. Will having a full cold air make up for the low end loss??

What you need is a MAF flange.

$35 right HERE on CL.

Take the flange and have it welded on the pipe of your choice. He attached it with silicone. I think Spectre makes universal kits too.
