Default 2015 3.0 S/C air intake for 50$.

Looking around on this site (new here) I see a lot of people asking about air intakes, and there seems to not be much in the way of aftermarket support. I watched a video where an adapter was bought to attach cone filters for the V8.

When I went out and looked at the air box I realized there were 2 torx (T15 ?)screws holding the MAF sensors into 2 air boxes. I unclipped the sensors, removed the air box and MAF, undid the MAF connection to the box (torx screws), then reinstalled the MAF sensors.

Doing this let me attach 2 generic 3” cone filters from I picked up locally. I can get pictures if there is a request. But I thought this might save someone else some looking and some money for adapters that aren’t needed. Really brought out the supercharger whine.

Overall picture

Cone filter attached to factory MAF

I plan to use the eyelets where the MAF tubes connected to the factory air box to rig up support.

sorry for the dark pictures, I haven’t made it home yet but didn’t want to forget.
