anyone please correct me if i'm wrong in anything i said above...
Forgive me for mistyping the diameter. The 3" diameter one is the model we make for the Ford Focus. We would make the stock diameter for the maxima MAF tube and optionally make a larger one for people interested in them (tuning required for larger maf tubes to achieve optimal performance).

We can make the 3" TBs if there is interest as well.
