Well my MAF litteraly cuts in and out. So i was just gonna buy another oem one but since i am having it retuned next week, i figure that maybe i should get an aftermarket one. The shop that will be tuning the car said to get the SLP one. What different when it comes to tuning?

So i should just buy another stock one? It would have to be new cuz i dont wanna put used stuff on my car. slp's is $160 and the dealer wants $270 for a stock one. If the stock one is better, i dont mind spending the money.

When I bolted up my SLP MAF, I lost power... It's a hit or miss with them, but you CAN'T go wrong with a stock unit. Get the stock unit, not only for ease of tuning but for peace of mind.

It would be surprising to me that the MAF itself is
cutting out. That sounds more like a wiring problem,
intermittent connection etc. Seen one or two folks
report bent or pushed back pins in the connector.
Though if the MAF were messed with the chance
of an internal electrical problem goes up (little
sense resistor connections are flimsy, etc.).
But inspecting the wiring is a freebie and if it's
the problem, then a new MAF (of any sort)
would not solve it.

I have the SLP 85mm MAF, and have never had a problem with tuning. In fact, the out of the box DiabloSport Predator tune worked great with it too. I can't say exactly how much hp I gained, I just wanted to be able to support 500-600 fwhp down the road.
