About this part
Hi, I wanted a cheap and easy way to install a diferent intake on the Miata to increase intake noise (no performance gain expected of course, just fun). Also I wanted it easy to go back to facotry airbox. So I designed this to retain the factory MAF sensor. Please note that I don't know sh*t about f*ck, I'm just a dude with too much time to spare. I don't recommend installing this to your car, my goal is more to inspire someone who knows what he/she's doing to make a better version. I "learned" fusion 360 just for that.
It's designed to be printed wide side flat on the bed with a brim and no support, 100% infill. I used PETG and it holds for now but ABS would probably be better.
I noticed an improve in low end torque and it made the car slightly smoother which was a surprise for sure, but a welcome one.I don't know if that's due to better air flow (I higly doubt that) or because I messed up the measurements and now the MAF sensor is misplaced so the ECU is tricked in a bad way (which is a lot more likely).
The outside diameter for the filter is 80mm because I had a 80mm filter laying arround. I then crafted a support in my cave with a bunch of scraps. If it looks stupid but it works it ain't stupid right ?
With the top down, the engine sounds beter with a lower tone for the intake sound, not a big difference but good enough for what it costs.
