If you stuck a cone filter on the end of yourMAF it may be getting a bad reading. In the airbox there is a velocity stack to control the air flow going in. If you get a full cold air intake you shouldn't have any problems. And before you go get a new MAF buy some MAF cleaner and see what happens.

Yea I agree. MAF are not cheap, actually cheapest I found was around $80.

They make 'um. I don't have a picture but there is room. I think the best bang for your buck would be one from ECSTuning.com. They are around $170 as opposed to AEM at $270.

it was a tight fit for mine, just remove the plastic tubing in front of the left headlight, and snake through. I did it through the bottom but I'm sure it would work through the top, too. I made my own, and I noticed that only the filter makes a difference. I've had about 5-6 different brand of intakes, and it pretty much comes down to the filter, if it's a good exhaust. just my opinion tho...
