Default is mass air flow ends worth getting

i am looking at getting some ported mass air ends. Are they worth the 100 bucks?

IMO, no. I had whisper maf ends, and went back to stock ones once I started doing my own tuning. I guess if you can adjust your tune to take them into account then they shouyld help (more airflow), but I'm not sure.

no they are not worth 100 dlls. People sell used ends here on the board for around 50 dlls. You can also find them for about 60 dlls if you are really interested in a set. My advice to you.... keep your stock MAF, its supposed to be good for a little over 600 HP and with the mods in your sig you are nowhere near that.

No. Plus they will mess up the ECU readings, and the engine won't act quiet right, because you don't have the airfoil down the middle. My recommendation, descreen your stock unit, and forget about any aftermarket units....until you go with bigger mods. It looks like you have just the bolt ons. After you go with heads, cam, nitrous, then you might look into getting an SLP aftermarket one. It still has the airfoil in the middle of it. You could probably descreen that one too. The stock unit will flow on up to 500 hp.
