Default Should I install MAF ends?

Just curious. I had a 99 TA and I had some MAF ends to install. I never did sell them so I still have them. I bought a Z28 and I was thinking about installing them.

Should I? What benefits will I gain. The car is bone stock at the moment. It will have a SLP lid within a week and eventually a Dynomax muffler will replace the stock one.

Is it an A4 or M6? Have heard a lot of people saying not to use them on A4's, they supposedly do harm to the A4's.

I would hestitate to use them on an A4 with stock tuning and an aftermarket converter. They throw off the load calculation which can result in not enough line pressure being used.
