Not sure if you want to go the cold air route on your 86-7 Turbo Regal?  We are now offering the Big Mouth Shorty Style air filter kit if you want to keep your air filter in the motor compartment. Parts included are a new 9" K&N air filter with a 4" inlet,  a short length of 4" pipe that connects to a reducing adapter to hook to your 3" stock, Impala SS  or 3.5" LS1 MAF sensor. A hole is drilled in the adapter for easy installation of the MAT sensor.  Your choice of a 3" or 3.5" solid MAF pipe in either 16 gauge aluminum or chrome chrome plated steel.  They can be made to fit either the TA stock type of turbos or the TE series turbos.  All clamps and necessary connecters are included. Also, now available in 4" MAF pipes.

So there you have it, a complete Big Mouth "Shorty" air induction system from the turbo to the air filter.  (Not including the MAF sensor of course!)

VERY IMPORTANT!  The 3.5" and 4" solid MAF pipes are for use with the LS1 MAF sensors only!  If you have the stock or Impala SS 3" MAF sensor I suggest you use a 3" MAF pipe. Our shorty style air filter kits use a 9" K&N cone filter with a 4" opening, this is where the BIG MOUTH name comes in.  You will notice the the filter sits right where the fuel vapor canister used to be.  The canister must be  relocated for this kit to work.  There is enough room to mount it directly to the frame rail with minimal effort.  If using the 3.5" MAF pipe please be aware that the clearance to the IAC is very tight.  I suggest you get a ANGLE BOSS from www.bopengineering.com to relocate it.  The fuel vapor canister MUST BE RELOCATED to the frame rail for this kit to fit properly!  

If you have any doubts on whether this system will work on your car please email me first!  

The shorty style BIG MOUTH kit keeps the air filter in the motor compartment but utilizes a K&N filter with a HUGE 4" opening to get all the air possible to your turbo Notice that the AC hoses do not rub on the filter.

MATERIALS USED

Just a quick explaination of the materials used in our "Shorty" cold air kits.  We have16 gauge aluminum MAF pipes for light weight.  This finish is not the most show worthy material as it may have scratches and small imperfections but gets the job done.   Not that it looks bad but in my opinion it is not show worthy unless you rub out the finish with any good metal polish or paint it. Also now available in POLISHED aluminum.  

Now the chrome pipes used, that's another story.  These are triple plated chrome steel and are definitely show-worthy right out of the box!  Since they are steel I coat the insides with POR-15 after careful prepping with "Metal Prep" to remove any rust and to prevent any future rust problems.
