The MAF meter does need a length of the intake tubing just before and just after the sensor to be straight. This allows the airflow to 'straighten out' after a turn.

Because C&L meters sample from the outer edge of the housing, a bend in the inlet tubing can cause some serious sampling issues.

It sounds like C&L still promotes the use of the factory airbox...
Nothing wrong with that...

gank an airbox from the 'bay and take the baffles out. it is proven to flow just as well as the most of the aftermarket parts.
