Not a good idea... the purpose of the air filter is to trap depris and particles so they don't go through the engine...

Now imagine those debris hitting the wires on the MAF ... you woldn't have a MAF for long...

Plus you'd be really restricting the air ... small opening (78mm MAF) to large Air Filter, to small (78mm TB)
