What advantage is there to removing the MAF post? Is this a good idea? How do you do it?

No advantages. Not a good idea. Do not do it...

most people aren't smart enough to ask question before they do something stupid

Have you taken off the intake air silencer yet? Free mod that gets a tiny bit of HP and also makes it louder...

Also, don't forget about preventitive maintenance... Change EVERY fluid!

although i have a metal one, i'd suggest a plastic made one that doesn't transfer heat. they really dont' have a big power difference between them, so you can't really og that wrong with them

I previously had a K&N Aircharger with plasic intake tube and currently use a C&L with an aluminum intake tube and MAF housing. Both were good CAIs in my opionion, however I had occasional stalling issues with the K&N system, which could have been eliminated by re-installing a MAF screen, that have not occurred with the C&L setup. The C&L CAI may significantly lean out your A/F ratio however, so a tune is recommended if using it.
