Thread: If I do this, what do I do with the MAF?

It's the IAT sensor. Just hang it near the filter or at least leave it plugged in. Depending on the temperature, it may raise or lower your cars timing a couple degrees, but i would not worry about it too much.

Eh, overall, not good the have this hanging like that. It needs plugged into the sensor. But with it hanging there, it is prone to fall down on the exhaust. Or rub a wire bare. Best bet is to drill a 1/2" hole in the rubber and the sensor will press in and stay there just fine. I did this on my FWIs. Started with like an 1/8" drill bit. Then 1/4". Then 1/2". The sensor will just press right in.
