Default fast toys composite ported maf ends ...

in conjunction with what i already have - home made TRUE cai, k&n filter, hawk lid, smooth bellow, - will the FT maf ends help at all with the whole smooth intake airflow path? as in $99 worth? i seem to understand that the screen actually corrects/smooths out airflow, but the FT maf ends are de-screened ... so i am on the fence right now with spending the hundred bucks. any experience/suggestions? this is on my 02' trans.

This was a popular mod when the LS first came out but guys eventually came to the conclusion that is does nothing and possibly causes problems.
