Mafioso has been trying to get a stock fitting for it but the company wants mass quantities ordered. I have had mine split once. I bought a new one as its a standard PCV fitting for a Ford 5.4L and is found in most Auto parts stores help section. I put the hose clamp on and have not had a problem since. If you are worried about it get a spare and carry a screw driver with you in case it goes while you are on a trip. I did the drive to the meet with no problems with mine and that was with some spirited driving coming back.

 

I just used a one peice 3/4" reinforced silacone hose on mine with hose clamps. Seams to work fine and I have run a lot of pressure with that type hose with no issues in the past.

 

How can I buy one, are we still on group buy number 2?

 

im assuming this is not going to happen again?

 

It will, sorry for the delay, I have been in and out sick, and finally got my health stable. look for the post in the up coming weeks.

 

thank you. i hope you are feeling better... i keep watching take care of yourself

 

I'm finally looking to buy one when I get back from ft. jackson in a few months.

 

Removing this a sticky as its all went quiet at the moment on this.

Its a good thread and can be easily found again if/when required!

 

I'd like one...

 

yeah, I would like one too.

 

List your cars bros...assuming yas have STR's cause ya want the Mafioso intake elbow.

 

Mafioso, I'd like to order the Best if Possible. The color I'm interested in would be Silver or Chrome... whichever is shiniest. Tell me what I need to do next.

 

Good call sir, done, thanks.

 

I would just like a basic black elbow for my 2005 STR. Are you guys just using a drop in k&n in the factory air box with the elbow? Not a big fan of K&N and the oil.

 

^ Yep. I have the basic black, with a K&N drop in. Works great. Just don't get carried away with the oil. I've been using K&N's for 15 years or so on all my vehicles without a problem. I like the washability factor. The oil thing is a bit overblown IMHO. But let's not get that going again or this thread will go off the rails.

 

Broncobra, ditto to Chris on the K&N a/f. As mentioned, only lightly oil after cleaning, avoid saturating by allowing the oil to permeat through the fibers before applying more oil. The drop in K&N and Mafioso air intake elbow is a big plus to breathing. Do a 3 lb. pulley and low temp thermo, then unplug her butt with hi-flow cats, x-pipe, replace stock center resonator with a pair of flow through resonators, dump it all out of a pair of Borla's...and you tell us how this made a difference?

 

How awesome would it be if a vendor offered all that you mentioned as one big kit? Intake elbow, 3lb pulley, thermo, and exhaust, all wrapped up in one big go-fast package....

 

I recently bought a 2003 STR, and am definitely interested in the best intake you can get in black.

 

Welcome Alex, and congratulations on your 03 STR! Yes, the "Mafioso" air intake elbow is a must.

 

I'm holding money in my hand ready to buy! I;m going to message you here Mafioso for directions. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
