I just put one one with the stock MAF. No dyno results, but I can tell you how it drives. I noticed a marginal differece, but it was about what I expected. A little better throttle response, car doesn't feel quite as sluggish. It feels a little stronger, but not anyhting amazing. I see you already have a K&N filter, so you may notice less of a difference. I went from the stock air filter with ~8500 miles, so that was probably a good part of the difference itself. I'd say 8 hp may be a bit hopeful, but I can't say for sure. On a side note, it was a pain to install, but not as bad as some others have posted. I didn't need to cut anything off the pipe, and I have a strut tower brace which made things harder. Without the strut tower brace it would have been much easier.

thanks for the write up. do you think i can expect 8-10 at the wheels with the addition of the Mac MAF?

It's a CAI. You can expect similar gains as other CAI's. The straight shot is hardly something revolutionary. The 8rwhp might be attainable but, I wouldn't hold your breath. The same would go for any CAI.

In all honesty, from what I've read you would want to keep your stock MAF. Any gains you'll get from a new MAF are due to tricking the car into running leaner. The MAF is a sensor, not a performance part. I know I am no way near, and from reading your sig I can say your also no way near, pegging the stock MAF.
