Speed density replace MAF

Does anyone here know what size pipe I can use to replace the MAF? I am wiring in an IAT sensor instead of my 5 wire maf. I want to pull the MAF out and replace it with a piece of pipe, but am not sure what to go out and by.

If it's a one-way trip you can just hog the hell out
of the MAF and nobody'll be the wiser. Gut it out
to the shell.

I'm pretty sure I used a piece of 3" pvc that measures 3.5" on the outside.

I will have to look into the PVC, but if I want some Aluminum tube it looks like I have to order it. Thanks for the info folks.

Or direct port nitrous kit with a standalone. Not to mention the loud exhaust. I am not worried about hiding if I have a MAF or not. I really do not want to destroy the 120+ dollar piece if I can replace it with a 10 dollar piece of pipe.
