Default $60 for MAF ends even worth it?

Are ported MAF ends even worth it?

Paying 60 dollars and getting nothing out of it does not sound like a good Idea?

Someone let me know.

Thanks

Ed

$60? no... $20? maybe.....

spend that $60 on either fixing problem(s) or getting a known GOOD mod (like a cam, heads, bottom end rebuild or suspension part(s))

just my $0.02....

p.s. i did however notice a (probably more aesthetic/feel) difference in the car with one of those throttle body air foils... smoothed things out a bit.

if youre extremely careful with handling your maf (not getting ANYWHERE near your sensors), take your maf apart and polish the heck out of your stock ends. use your $60 on something else...like putting it towards a tune.
