Do some reading on exactly how a MAF functions.
Once you change the ends you completely ruin the calibration, it can be restored by a good tuner with time but once all is said and done you will have spent a lot of money on the tuner for no performance gain.

It is such a bad idea that it does not matter at all if they fit.

not sure why you'd want to replace the ENDS, I mean you can get your stock ones powdercoated, however those fit the B-car 3" Maf, not the F-car 3.5" MAF

I am replacing my ends because I was going to port/polish my MAF anyways. For $65 this will save me the trouble and I can always return to my stock ends. In response to 96capricemgr I already have my computer tuned for an after market MAF.

Soon as you make one change it is back out of calibration.

Porting a MAF is 99% of the time a BAD THING, all you accomplish is making the tuner's job more difficult. Don't believe me as Ion yourself.
He is probably too nice to tell folks who already made this mistake it was a mistake but if you ask him beforehand I am very sure he will recommend you not do it.

AGAIN look into how they function.

and as I mentioned unless they sell ones for the 3.5" MAF those aren't going to fit.
