    The only reason you would need one of those would be if you were out flowing the factory unit.

    Exactly, you'll never outflow the factor MAF sensor with a wimpy cold air intake.

    If you care to learn about how the MAF works, do some reading.

    I looked into those things from what I could gather and what the forum guys here agreed with, it's pretty much like a performance chip mod which means its great for separating you from some cash and wasting some time and effort for something that does nothing.

    That's not a chip it's a maf sensor just not the one he'd need.
