You can with the right adaptor boot, but if running a MAF, you would be better off using the VY2 285 pipe setup, as it's optimised for flow using a MAF. The 300 one has to take a sudden step up in diameter out of the MAF, which can't be the best solution to "smooth" airflow.
No doubt someone will roast me for saying that, but the 300 one is more for people wanting THE LOOK on a MAF car.

thanks mikevyII i because my car is still running maf i dont not have the boot of the gts pipe but the pipe i bought looks more similar to the vyii hsv setup and that brings me to my last question is there a size difference between the two pipes?

The GTS pipe can still be used on a car running a Maf you just add an boot to the end like the first pic show's. My wife's LS1 has that setup but she is at work So cant take a pic for you. & Yeah there is a size differance the HSV 285 pipe tampers down in size from 4inch down to 3inch i think. GTS 4inch the whole way.

Hey Guys,

I currently have a VY II HSV Maf pipe. I still have the Maf on, however Iam looking at getting a Mafless tune. Are they any adapters that I can put on so that I can keep the VY II HSV Pipe? Or do I have to buy a GTS style Maf pipe?

Ask whoever is going to tune your car what they normally se if it's a shop dion it.

Or you could just leave the Maf there unplugged, mine had a piece of tubing connecting the vy11 hsv pipe to a boot then the airbox pipe was supplied by sam when I got edit done

Iam getting SAS in Silverwater to do it. Perhaps I should leave the Maf in there unplugged.

Anyway I will ask them.

Thanks:)

Crap dude, don't you reckon a 4-foot pipe is a bit excessive..?..

I'll take my anal-retentive sorry ass to bed now, good luck with the mod.
