Guys running the ATP 3" inlet pipe kit.

[nypest]

It's the 45* coupler they send. You need a coupler with a tight radiused 45* and a short leg going to the inlet pipe and a longer leg going to the MAF housing or stock air box what ever you run. I was sent a few different 45* couplers from ATP and trimmed one to fit. I am giving them the measurements so they will include a 45* coupler with this kit to work with the stock air box. The bottom BPV hose fit great for me. I ended up with 10"-11" of the 1" silicone tube and it fit right over the exhaust port of the BPV and right to the 90* plastice nipple they provide. I even used the stock spring clamps there because they fit real tight. On the top I used 8" of silicone tube and a 3/4" rubber spacer to fit in the 1" silicone tube so the stock snap fitting off the stock accordion inlet pipe would slide in snug. It all snaped together OEM like after that. Loks nice with the black hose I opted for. I'll have PICs later today I promise!!

Good work!

I had to do similar work to get the cobb to fit..

what ever happened to posting pics?

ive got the atp kit now... mscai and cobb intakes to choose from. They did not include any elbows though(notcool)

I read your posts a couple times.... but could you repeat exactly what I need to ask for when I talk to them..... and also what exactly I'll need from the stock airbox? Im assuming you need the stock nipple that was removed with the mscai install. I'll have to dig that up.

btw... which is easier to fit, the mscai or the cobb? im still on the fence about which I'll run longterm.

Thanks guys.... sorry to revive this thread but its the closest to a "how to" of any of the threads on the board.

What happened to me posting PICs? Well, I suck! You need a 45* coupler from them with long legs. 4" long legs I think it is. You then need to trim the coupler to fit. You can use the 90* fittings they send you for the breather and DV but the top one comes kind of close to the mounting screw the stock inlet pipe connects to. I have a 90* through hull fitting............you know what.......email me. svtmatt96@aol.com
I'll send you pictures.

I am going to stay with the Cobb because of the air straighteners and the Bellmouth MAF housing they used. Reminds me of the old Pro-M MAF meter I used on all my stangs and my Lightning.
If you use the Mazdaspeed intake though you can ditch the top nipple on the ATP inlet. That works nicely.

I installed this with a MS CAI. The MS CAI is 2.75" OD, so you need a step-up sleeve from ATP. It's a rubber insert that goes on the MS CAI and allows you to connect to the 3" inlet using a 3" 45 degree elbow. It takes some playing around, twisting of the last section of the MS CAI.

PM me with your email address if you wan't more pics. I could do a step-by-step with video and pics, but my wife nags and nags for me to get off the damn forums.

hey guys that was great.... just got done studing the pics speedy. That basically is a "how to" right there the way that was drawn up.

andrade... with the cobb... what do you connect to the silicone to stabilize it. Somebody somewhere stated that they tucked it right into the inlet. Is this even possible and still make it fit? Plus what did you do with the nipple on the Cobb? Did you plug it if you used both of the 90* fittings on the inlet. Im a little lost there?

right now... with the big turbo going on this week Im leaning towards the 2.75 cai... The Cobb is only 2.6 right?

 

[Andrade08]

I'm sorry man...........I'll post PICs tonight. With the Cobb you do not use the blue silicone coupler. You use the bracket and the MAF meter. I even ditched the blue filter and used a larger K&N filter. You use the 3" silicone 45* ATP coupler.

 

[SPEED305]

so, is this worth buying? i really want it, but dont know what to do?

 

[palerider]

So the same elbow is used with the cobb and the ms cai right? The only difference is that the speed also uses the 2.75 reducer. I think im finally there.... maybe.

As long as somebody agrees with this...

 

[nypest]

here ya go man works just fine

did you mod the cobb bracket ?

Also it looks like you tucked the cobb copuler into the ATP inlet? looks good but isnt that a restriction ?

wouldn't restrict anything because the flow from the filter to inlet would be downward anyway, now if that were an exhaust piece that would probably be a restriction

hmmmmmmm?

 

[RonTonkinMazda]

hmmmmmmm?

he is going from smaller to bigger which is good for intake, mine is the same way works great.

So your saying its good to go from 2.5" to 3.0" then lets say running 3.0" from the MAF back?
