Can Anyone Hinder a guess how this happened?

see Attached picture:

REVI with REV8, MAF screen is being sucked toward the front of the car not toward the back; (i.e. doesn't look like something hit it from the intake side, but something from the engine side :dunno:

same thing happened to me and another guy on stock intake - never got to the bottom of it . I just run nekkid now :)

Simple physics, my dear Polak.....

You put the bottom of the other tube in a little too far and sliced the bottom of the mesh screen out, nice and clean. Elementary!

S

and another thing
WTF does "anyone hinder a guess" mean ?

:dunno: Maybe.... what's up with that?

Maybe, I purposefully didn't put it too far in as I didn't want it to touch the screen, think the engine could possibly shift about .25'' under heavy braking, or some other activity?

you've never heard the phase "hinder a guess"?

I think you actually mean "Hazard a guess" as in take a chance at guessing?

I'm not going to argue this one as I have a history of problems remembering phrases; for example:

I thought "turning a new league" when in fact its "turning a new leaf"
I thought "it's a half ass ford and i'm shifting gear" when in fact its "it's half past four and i'm shifting gear" (golden earing radar love)

The list is long and distinguished and probably hysterical, but to save what dignity i have left i'll stop.

It's "tender a guess"

offer or present (something) formally : he tendered his resignation as leader.
• offer (money) as payment : she tendered her fare.

Or possibly you were thinking of "hazard a guess"

No idea what's wrong with your intake screen. :)
