Oh and as for "K&N" and MAF's. K&N is a brand, not a filter style. Whoever you heard that from was anidiot anyway (or you are if you just made it up). The issue is with removing the stock airbox and piping, not the type or brand of filter. If the MAF is located close to the throttle (which is ISN'T on his car anyway), there can be issues with intake pulses/reversionscrewing with the signal at lower RPM. These issues are rare-to-non-existent on most cars and are usually a result of aftermarket intake pipesmoving the MAF too close to the throttle body, NOTbecause of some particular brand or style of filter.

Well actually, and it pains me greatly to say this, Doug is correct in his general assertion, which would leave you as the idiot who made up something to say.

Although you are correct in that K&N is a brand and not a style of filter, after that you display nothing more than your vast internet automotive expertise, which is to say none at all. Intake flow reversion is not a problem with any MAF on a stock or near stock engine. Not until you start running huge duration numbers, extremely tight LSA's or a combination of the two. Even then, the MAF isn't the problem, the problem is the the ECU/ECM/PCM being confused by unexpected inputs. But I digress.

No Skippy, what Doug is talking about is how reusable/cleanable/oiled cotton gauze filters are notorious (some brands more than others) for contaminating the hot wire in the MAF, causing drivability issues and DTCs to mysteriously appear. That is why they're not recommended by several OE's and are covered in a lot of TSB's from most manufacturers. Anyone with the slightest hands on experience knows that. Leave the technical stuff to those who know. You can busy yourself with "stylez".

Have a nice day.

O rly?

Intake flow reversion, which is exactly what intake pulse harmonics cause, IS an issue when a MAF is located too closely to the throttle body. Stock cams or not, intake pulses are a fact of automotive life. How do you think intake manifolds are pulse tuned if there are no pulses with stock cams? Maybe take the time to look at the MAF reading on a car with the MAF too close to the TB, then come back and talk with me.

What do you think causes those "unexpected inputs"? The MAF. Therefore, the MAF causes the problem. ECU's don't cause problems, they just react to the information given. Give it the wrong information, it won't have the correct response. That makes the MAF the problem. But that's just a sematics argument.



As far the oil on the MAF problem, that's you showing your internet-only knowledge. In the real world that only becomes an issue when people clean and re-oil (i.e. OVER oil) the filter.



I'm guessing you're probably a mechanic or something. You probably had massive amounts of"technical" training. Don't make me lol at you.

You just want to see him get owned. I'll tell you what. You start a car thread so I can make him look stupid on any subject he wants, but the one rule is NO import vs. dumbestic debates. I don't want to bring out your stupidity too.

Safety is only a tyrants tool when it is used to justify taking away your freedoms. When one makes a conscious decision on their own to be safe it is totally unrelated to tyranny.

In my opinion, not wearing hearing protection is stupid, unless you aspire to become deaf.Sure, you may be able to firemany shots beforeyou become deaf, but permanent hearing damage is gauranteed with every shot unlessyou are firing a supressed .22. Deafness is not good in a tactical situation. Further, if you tried to practice that way you probably wouldn't want to shoot as often because it wouldn't be much fun, and, I'd say you are more likely to develop a flinch by not wearing protection than you would by wearing it. People usuallycure the tendency to flinch with snap caps and .22s, not by shooting high impulse rounds without hearing protection.

Clearly it's to protect the car. There's a lot of guido broskis out there that would love to steal that thing. :lol:

I'll go ahead and plus a zillion on the hearing protection.

I'm half deaf because of my time in Iraq. Too many rounds downrange without ear pro and too many things blowing up next to my head. In Iraq though it wasn't realistic to wear ear pro. Very different from the range, where I always wear it. I've fought the Army to give me money for my ears but they don't want to. I have a hard time hearing my fiance when she talks, and I like her voice so it hurts not to. I will have a very hard time with kids in the future and I don't think I'll ever hear my grandchildren. That hurts a lot too. If you train with out your muffs you'll just be deaf and at a serious disadvantage in a defensive situation and just life in general. So the moral of the story, from someone who knows, where your ear pro when your putting rounds down range, you'll be glad you did.

Cool car dude.

Edited to add, eye pro is probably a good idea too, I bet being blind isn't any more fun than being deaf. I would try bright sun with clear lenses though, just to change things up a bit and get practice with other conditions.

Oh I didn't mean the cuffs. I'm talking about the MP5 and the M203 attachment on the M4. Heck, the M4's fun too.

My state won't let me own those.

They're ok with collecting cans, but we have to go elsewhere to play with them.

I guess this involved a search warrant? What reason(s) was in the affadavit for the search warrant and what did the search warrant seek?

Good question. As off-topic as it's getting, I'd love to hear the detailed answer to this, if it's something rolexbens190e is willing to share publicly.

As for showing your license plate and such, I'd be a bit afraid of doing that too, especially if I had Title II weapons and the appropriate tax-stamps for them. I'd hate to think some moronic net-ninja will think he's tacticool while I'm at work and mess up my doors/windows/gun-safe trying (unsuccessfully) to get to stuff. Even worse would be if he succeeded and actually stole some Title II weapons... Good luck explaining that to the authorities and good luck getting tax-stamps approved for replacements...

So you beat up a mall-cop and then streaked naked through the mall for vengence. In another video you're waving your pistol around on new year's eve in PI. Smart.
