Default Is a slp maf worth it?

I am wondering if it is worth buying a slp maf or is it a waste of money? Also is the slp cold air induction help? I have a ss and wonder if the ss hood is enough or would it help to have the induction package too?

i have both the maf and the slp induction. i would say they are awesome but if you get the maf you will want to get the car tuned.

I have both and no tune, couldnt tell ya if it was one or the other that made me feel a SOTP difference, but i did. Both were installed at the same time (CAI kit, and MAF) Makes me wonder with all the "tune it" talk being said here if i were to gain anything from a tune. I myself really would'nt do a $500.00 tune off of a $200.00 MAF, i would wait until more mods warrented the money being spent on the tune, buts thats just my op.
